Fr. Aaron Laskiewicz
Administrator
I am blessed to have been raised in a Catholic family. Ever since childhood, going to church, saying my prayers, and being a good Christian were very important. I was also blessed to have so many good examples in my life of how to live our call to holiness. This was really meaningful to me as I discovered my desire to become a priest. In fact, I wanted to become a priest ever since first grade. Since then, it has been all I have ever known.
My family and friends have been supportive along with my home parish, St. John Paul II, on Milwaukees south side. One of the most influential figures in bolstering my faith, is my home parish pastor, Fr. Mike Ignaszak, who has been and still is, a great friend and mentor. Over the years of my formation, I have learned a lot about myself, and God, but one of the best things has been realizing more and more how active God is in my daily life.

When Julianne told God she would go wherever he sent her, it resulted in her moving to Wisconsin from Rhode Island to join St. Mary Catholic Faith Community as the Youth Evangelization Coordinator. Her responsibilities include coordinating formation, ministry, and service opportunities for those in grades 6 through 12. She earned her BA in Theology from Assumption University in 2013 and her MA in Theology with a Catechetics Specialization from Franciscan University in 2020.

Kecia Freschi
Education & Curriculum Specialist
As the Education and Curriculum Specialist in Catholic Formation, Kecias role is to enhance the cognitive learning aspects within the Catholic faith, develop age-appropriate content that engages and produces desired outcomes of knowledge, train and assist Catholic Formation team members in educational approaches, and nurture the centrality of Sunday Eucharist in the lives of all who encounter St. Mary Catholic Faith Community.
Kecia earned her BA in Liberal Studies with a state of California teaching credential and has teaching experience in the elementary grades. After moving to Wisconsin over a decade ago, ministry work sought Kecia out through her skilled talents, as well as her spiritual gift of encouragement. Her volunteer formation ministry work led to being a part of a Childrens Ministry staff. To further her love of learning, Kecia earned her Certificate of Lay Ministry from Cardinal Stritch University St. Clare Center.
The educational piece in the Catholic Formation program must be engaging and enriching to promote further learning and the examination of thoughts and ideas. While Kecia believes knowing the roots of the Catholic faith is an important part of our religion and spirituality, she also understands that teaching the love of Jesus Christ with morals and values is just as important in developing the whole child, teen, adult, and family. She is honored and privileged to be among the St. Mary staff and community, to help equip the lives of many to guide them in Jesus love and in their growth as disciples of Jesus Christ.

Pam and her husband, Dave, have been parishioners since 1980 and have been active in many aspects of parish life. They have two adult children who grew up in this community and attended St. Mary Parish School. Pam is passionate about parish social ministry. Her greatest reward is when a connection is made, with mutual respect and joy, between those who need help and those who can provide it.
It is pure joy to work with this community of amazing disciples. When we open up our hearts to living as eucharistic people that are blessed, broken, and shared, God answers prayers through us.

Sybil Grandeck
Archivist
Sybil serves as the St. Mary Archivist - a continuation of her duties while employed in the Parish Office years ago. She researches inquiries from people interested in their families connection with St. Mary, usually commencing with a question if an ancestor is among the 1100+ burials in our historic cemetery. These initial inquiries lead to tracing families for generations and often finding formerly unknown connections.
Among the major projects Sybil initiated and maintains is the indexing of all available sacramentary records from 1844 to the present day and completing the index of our cemetery for the Archdiocese. She also serves as a Eucharistic Minister, weekday lector, parish festival worker, and Prayer Shawl minister. She especially enjoys spending time with her husband, Michael E. Jedrzejewski, their cat, friends, raising Monarch butterflies, and gardening. She highly encourages you to see our Archive Case near the Information Center for a presentation of historic items and a very interesting chronicle of our wonderful Church.
