Vicar General - Rev. Msgr. Thomas Toale
1. Welcome, Anastasia Nicklaus Schmelzer!
We are happy to announce that Anastasia Nicklaus Schmelzer has been hired to be the Director of Worship for the Archdiocese.
Many will know her since she has over 25 years of experience in various roles in the Archdiocese and its parishes and institutions. Currently, she is the Coordinator of Liturgy and Music at St. Edward Catholic Church, Waterloo, Iowa (July 2015-Present). Her goal is to "foster full, conscious, and active participation in the liturgy through careful preparation of liturgical celebrations."
She will begin July 1, 2025.
We take this opportunity to thank Connor Miller for his service as interim Director of the Worship Office.
