Joann has been the A.R.E. at St. Michael’s since 2007. Her background is in early childhood education. Joann’s work focuses on developing our programs for young children to encourage them to foster a personal relationship with Jesus. She coordinates activities in Faith Formation, Children’s Liturgy of the Word, Vacation Bible School and Stations of the Cross. Joann’s work at St. Michael’s does not stop there, though as she brings her energy and natural compassion for others by overseeing our Social Justice Ministry.

She has been married to her “best friend”, Tad, since 1987 and together they have three beautiful children. Joann loves photography, scrapbooking, cross stitch and going to the mountains of West Virginia.

Joann is passionate about helping families, especially in watching young children grow in their faith.
