Hello, My name is Lauren Welsh. I am originally from Allentown, PA. I graduated from Immaculata University in 2011. There, I received my bachelors degree in English and Secondary Education. For the first five years of my career, I taught 6th, 7th grade, and 8th grade Religion and 6th and 7th grade English Language Arts at Saints Peter and Paul School in West Chester, PA. Wanting a change, I moved to Ocala, Fl in 2016 and taught 7th grade English for two years. For the past two years, I have been teaching at my alma mater, Saint John Vianney Regional School in the city of Allentown.
Teaching the Catholic faith, particularly Scripture has always been a passion of mine. I find the connections between the Old and New Testaments fascinating. I hope to obtain my Masters in Theology in the future. When I am not working, I love to sing in the choirs at my home parish, the Cathedral of Saint Catherine of Siena. I enjoy spending time with my family and my goldendoodle Quincy. I am also an avid fan of Disney Pixar movies.
I am very excited to be back in the West Chester area, and even more excited to be the new CRE at Saint Maximilian Kolbe.
IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF COVID-19, PREP CLASSES WILL BE VIRTUAL FOR ALL GRADES DURING THE 2020-21 SCHOOL YEAR.
