I first walked these halls as a student in 1978 and continued through 8th grade, never imagining how deeply this parish would shape my life. St. Joseph has been a steadfast light for my spiritual journey guiding, grounding, and inspiring me at every stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My role today is the result of many years of small beginnings and steady growth. In 2012, I returned as a volunteer consultant, helping with communication initiatives simply because I loved this parish and wanted to give back. What started as \u201cthe social media gal\u201d role in 2022, slowly grew into something much bigger. Today, I\u2019m grateful to serve full\u2011time as the <strong>Marketing and Engagement Lead<\/strong>, using creative, out\u2011of\u2011the\u2011box thinking to enhance our branding, strategically help our parish family connect in new ways and to extend a warm invitation to our wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve received several sacraments including marriage to my husband John at St. Joe\u2019s, and now my daughters attend school here, a long\u2011held hope in my heart that, after many years of praying, finally came true. This parish has shaped my life, my faith, and my family in ways I could never fully express.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">I am deeply thankful for the opportunities I\u2019ve been given and hope to be a good disciple using my creative gifts to serve, uplift, and \u201cdo good\u201d in the ways God calls me to. I am truly blessed to be part of this team and this parish I have loved for so long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":73,"featured_media":10539,"parent":0,"menu_order":9,"template":"","staff-group":[34],"class_list":["post-9926","staff","type-staff","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","staff-group-parish-office"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjosephcoldspring.com\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff\/9926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjosephcoldspring.com\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjosephcoldspring.com\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/staff"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjosephcoldspring.com\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/73"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/stjosephcoldspring.com\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff\/9926\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10517,"href":"https:\/\/stjosephcoldspring.com\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff\/9926\/revisions\/10517"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjosephcoldspring.com\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjosephcoldspring.com\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"staff-group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjosephcoldspring.com\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff-group?post=9926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
