A People Called
|
 I have the announcement of my ordination hanging in a place that I see each morning. The cover reads: "Today I am given to you by God that I might serve you that together we might serve God." This has become the motto of my priestly ministry. In the Sacrament of Baptism we are united with each other as part of the community of faith in this common mission of serving our God. Within the parish we proclaim the Word and celebrate the Sacraments that build the community that supports, strengthens and encourages each of us to be faithful servants of our loving God. Together we pursue this great calling at St. Paul.

Len Grassman, Pastoral Associate |
 "Each year we come closer to our goal of sharing five percent of our parish income with others. We assist sister parishes in central city Milwaukee and Guatemala. We are the Catholic presence at Ethan Allen school for boys in Wales. We also help young mothers, the elderly and others hungry and in need. We do this because that is what Jesus did." |

Deacon Larry Normann, Director of Liturgy and Biblical Stewardship |
|
 "There is a goodness in the people of St. Paul's - a welcoming attitude, a willingness to be open to hear all sides of the gospel message, a generosity in spirit, a sense of church beyond the parish boundaries, and a desire to live the faith each day to the best of their ability. Our people continue to be a source of inspiration in my service as their deacon."

 In the past 25 years, Rosemarie has managed finances and administrative services for the parish. In that time, the parish budget has more than tripled reflecting both the growth of the parish and the need for more ministries and member services. Day in and day out, she's there, making possible all the good things that happen at St. Pauls.

Mariangela Pledl, Adult Faith Formation |
|
 "Here at St. Paul's we have many opportunities to grow in our faith. All adults are invited and encouraged to participate in small groups which meet regularly for Scripture study, faith sharing, and prayer. Young parents are enriched spiritually as they prepare for the Baptism of their children. Other adults grow in their faith as they prepare for Confirmation or full communion in the Catholic Church. We strive to be a community which responds to all who are searching for deeper meaning in their lives."

Cheryl Sanford, St. Paul School Principal |
|
 I feel blessed to join the St. Paul Parish and School community as your new school principal! Celebrating over 20 years as an administrator or teacher in diverse school communities across five states, I am committed to and enjoy fostering those qualities which make our school uniquely Catholic: a community of parents, teachers, and students centered on our shared faith, enriched with mutual respect, built on shared responsibilities and focused on service. My promise to all parents who entrust their children to our care is to keep them physically, emotionally, socially, and psychologically safe while at the same time offering the best possible instruction to meet the unique needs of our students.

Janet Shanahan, Child and Youth Religious Education |
|
 "When I walk through the halls and see everything that's going on in the classrooms, the Galleria and the cafeteria, I look up and say Lord you are doing good work here. There are so many caring people working with children from pre-school to high school seniors - over 100 teachers in addition to coordinators, team leaders and others."

Amy Golden, Director of Youth Ministry |
|
 We are blessed to have an incredible spirit in the hearts of our St. Paul youth. Each day I thank God for leading me to this ministry. Our youth come with enthusiasm, questions, and a hunger to discover what it truly means to be Catholic. What a joy it is, to watch the growth that takes place during the 3 year Confirmation program, and to be a witness when they receive the sacrament of Confirmation.

Peggy Kolonko, Director of Music |

 I am thankful everyday to be serving in a ministry I love so much. Since moving here from Escanaba, Michigan in 1984, I have served as Director of Music at St. Anthony on the Lake in Pewaukee and as Associate Director of Music at St. John Vianney in Brookfield. I serve on the ALMA board at the Archdiocese and recently served on the core team for the NPM National Convention. May the prayer life we share bring us closer to our loving God and Father.

Kathy Havnen, Parish Secretary |
|
 Most often, Kathy is the first person callers talk to. And she has the answer for most questions. Kathy, her husband Marty and their four children have been parish members for 30 years. For more than ten years, she was the parish music coordinator and had accompanied the adult choir for 20 years. When needed, Kathy is still called upon to play the organ at funerals, Sunday Liturgies and special celebrations.
