Welcome Helena Miller-Fleig As you may recall, our former Director of Faith Formation left us last February to begin a new life in England. Since then, I have been praying that God would send us someone who could assume this important position for our parish. Recently, God answered my prayers by sending us Helena Miller-Fleig! She comes to us all the way from Greenbrae and has a wealth of experience in education! You can read more about her below. Planning for our upcoming year is underway. As always, our Christian Faith Formation (CFF) program will begin in September and registration will open in August. Please stay tuned for more information about our CFF program. When you see Helena around, please be sure to give her a warm St. Patrick welcome. I am confident she will fit right in and that our Religious Education program this coming year will be one of our best ever! Welcome Helena! Msgr. Padazinski
A native New Yorker, Helena Miller-Fleig attended Catholic schools from kindergarten through college. Through her travels and studies at both Fordham University and Harvard Divinity School, where she earned her Masters of Theological Studies, she enjoyed deepening her understanding of both Catholicism and World Religions. A high school educator for the past fourteen years, Helena has taught Religious Studies at three Bay Area Catholic high schools, including most recently St. Ignatius College Preparatory in San Francisco. Inspired by Ignatian Spirituality, she strives to "Find God in All Things," including both the joys and challenges of parenthood. She lives in Greenbrae with her husband, two sons, and eight chickens.
