Kathy Nuelle Developement and Engagement Coordinator
Hello, St. Raymond Parishioners!
I am so excited to join the staff at St. Raymond Parish! I have been praying to God to lead me to my next calling, and He has led me here! My husband, Todd, and I joined the Parish in 1994 when we moved to Mt. Prospect from Chicago. We have six children, ranging in age from 12-30 years old, who have all reaped the benefits and love of the Parish and School over the years. Now that five of our six children are on their way to their own adventures, it is time for me to embark on the next step of my journey.
I started my working career as the creative director of a small advertising agency, spending time brainstorming, writing, producing, editing, maintaining client relationships, problem-solving, and negotiating. After our second child was born, I transitioned to working as an independent contractor so I could focus on raising our children. The projects I have worked on have varied over the years, but they have all had relationship-building in common. I served as a substitute teacher and worked as a copy editor and researcher. I worked with teams to develop processes and procedures and organized successful fundraisers. I have been the president of St. Raymond’s Family and School Association, Parish Council Chairperson, the committee head and member of many different ministries, and part of the Renew My Church Core Leadership Team. Each of these responsibilities has taught me so much about myself and others and has propelled me to continue to serve. So, when I heard God’s voice telling me to enter ministry work, I was nervous but not surprised. I am overjoyed to start this new chapter at St. Raymond’s –where my heart and passion lie.
I can’t wait to work with our wonderful staff to develop programs and paths to bring others closer to Christ and build up dynamic leaders that will carry us into the future. My hope is to bring joy to others, increase their desire to know Jesus, and help them find their calling within the Church.
Thank you for this amazing opportunity, and please keep me in your prayers as I will pray for each of you.
