Hello!  My name is Jennifer Ibach and I am the Pastoral Associate for the four South Seattle Parishes (Sts. Edward, George, Paul, and Peter).  I am so grateful to be ministering in the community where I live and attend church.  My children are students at St. George School and I am a member of the School Commission.  Before starting in this role, I worked as a Pastoral Assistant for Outreach at both Our Lady of Guadalupe in West Seattle and St. James Cathedral.  I have also served as a Youth and Young Adult Minister at Holy Family in Kirkland and a Housing Case Manager.  I have a Bachelor’s in Psychology with a Minor in Hispanic Studies and a Masters in Pastoral Studies from Seattle University.  I am also a certified Lay Ecclesial Minister with the Archdiocese of Seattle through the Christifideles program.  In my current role, I get to do a little of everything including Faith Formation, Outreach, Liturgy, and Administration.  The days are always varied and full, which makes the job interesting and enjoyable.  I love helping to build community, connect faith with action, and remind everyone just how loved they are by our merciful and caring God.
