Karen Arvidson joins us as the Children's Formation Coordinator. Karen studied Theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville with a focus on Catechetics (teaching the faith) and was a Catholic missionary in Kyushu, Japan. She was previously a lead teacher in the CK Mother's Day Out and Nursery program. She says "It is important for the children of our parish to develop a strong, personal relationship with Christ at a young age - the younger the better!" and is excited to help prepare them for receiving the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Communion. Karen and her husband Leif have 10 children. Welcome, Karen!
