Dear friends in Christ,

My name is Jeff Bogue, the new Pastoral Associate for our parish communities. What an honor and blessing it is to be here with you! My wife, Marie, a native is a native of St. Louis. and I reside in Kirkwood. Originally from Memphis, Tennessee, I’ve had the honor of calling St. Louis my home since moving here in the summer of 2020. Prior to making St. Louis my home, I spent nearly a decade working parish ministry, additionally with a background in Business Development and Healthcare Recruiting.

In this role I will have the opportunity to support Fr. Tom in his vision and mission for our community. It is a mission that has it’s eyes fixed on the Lord; I wholeheartedly believe in the good work he is doing, and the good work that is yet to be done. I am grateful to him and to God for allowing me to be part of it. Concretely this mission will occur in a variety of ways including faith formation, catechesis, ministry coordination and in ministry of presence.

Having transitioned from parish life to business and now to parish life again, I cherish the chance to serve alongside you as a disciple of Jesus Christ among. I look forward to meeting each of you. In the meantime, please be assured of my prayers for you and your families!
