St. Mark's Ministry Associate
Greetings! Or since I am arriving from Texas, maybe I should
say “Hey y’all!” My husband Jimmy transferred
from the Dallas division of Atrium Windows and Doors to be the
Sales Representative for the Chicago area. We say he works out
of the home, but really he works out of the car.
I am a candidate for ordination to the Priesthood. A step on
that path was my ordination as a transitional Deacon on November
1, 2007. God willing, I will be ordained as a Priest about six
months thereafter. I have worked as Director of Children’s
Ministries and as a Youth Minister at Episcopal Churches and
am delighted to be able to bring that background to St. Mark’s.
I am thrilled by what I have seen and heard here at St. Mark’s.
I am so glad that I can be a part of the journey as we seek
to grow into the full stature of Christ and to help our children
know and live life in Christ.
My family and I are living in the Rectory and feel very welcomed
with the attention that is being given to getting it ready for
us. Having that home available has made the move here all the
easier and reduced the stress of trying to sell our home back
in Dallas- not to mention the stress of not needing to drive
in bad weather to get to work! I was born and raised in Phoenix,
Arizona, went to
college in Southern California (Claremont McKenna College),
studied in Israel for six months, and moved to North Texas after
college. My Masters of Divinity Degree is from Perkins School
of Theology at Southern Methodist University with additional
Anglican coursework completed that was put into place recently.
Dallas is the coldest place I have ever lived so being close
by the church is ideal.
Jimmy and I have two children and two dogs. We are looking
forward to getting to know people in the Parish and in the neighborhood.
Please introduce yourself to me and let me hear some of your
story.
In Christ,
Katie Wright
