OUR PARISH ADMINISTATOR
KATHLEEN DIMMEL
Kathleen began attending St. Paul's in 1987 at the age of 12 when her mother re-married. Kathleen's step-father, Ben Swank Jr., was a member of St. Paul's, while her mother, Nancy was still a member of the United Church of Christ (Freidens UCC) in Washington, Texas. They attended each church on a rotating schedule every month. She was initilaly confirmed at Friedens UCC in Washington at age 14. Then in 1996 at age 20, after a life altering event, she became an official Episcopalian by re-confirming at St. Paul's.
She has always felt accepted at St. Paul's, no matter what. "The members of St. Paul's have always treated me like family and made me feel right at home here. That is why I left Friedens UCC in Washington; I never felt "at home". I love St. Paul's. I was re-confirmed, married here and both of my children were baptised here. It is a huge part of my family's history and will continue to be a huge part of my family's future."
The tasks done in the office are bascially what keeps the church organized and running smoothly. Any and all issues in the church are ultimately handled through the office. Kahtleen is usually the primary contact for everyone. All contact made with Church or Vestry Members, outside of Church on Sunday, are made from the office either by a phone call or e-mail. Kahtleen is the assistant to the Head of Congregation, as we do not have a full time priest, and Co-Treasures, Linda & Marla. She also assists anyone else that has questions or needs some other form of church business attended to. She handles the serivce bulletins for all services at St. Paul's, and she takes care of the everyday tasks required of the Church Secretary. She brings a sense of organization and attention to detail, coupled with a knowledge of the church and people as well as a love for the church!
You can contact Kathleen with questions or concerns 24 hours a day via email or by phone during regular office hours. Please visit the contact us page for office hours, phone number or email address.
