Janelle Krzmarzick

Ms. Krzmarzick is the Junior High Teacher Aide and she is thrilled to be teaching and serving at Ss. Peter and Paul, where she has worshipped over the years. She was raised in Naperville and attended Neuqua Valley High School. Having graduated from Saint Mary's University of Minnesota with a bachelor's degree in Theology and a minor in Art, she has since spent nearly the last two decades in various ministries for the Church, leading others closer to Jesus Christ. Her past experiences include working with the poor and the homeless as a missionary in the Bronx, NY for two years and parish Youth Ministry and Faith Formation for three years in both the Twin Cities and Chicago Area. Most recently, Ms. Krzmarzick was a consecrated religious sister with the Handmaids of the Heart of Jesus in Minnesota for seven years before the Lord called her away from the convent in the final year of preparation for perpetual vows. She recently completed a Graduate Certificate in Mission and Culture of Catholic Education from the University of St. Thomas' Catholic Studies Department in St. Paul, MN.

In her free time, Ms. Krzmarzick loves to spend time with her family, including many nieces and nephews. She enjoys Eucharistic Adoration, reading, hiking, singing, playing guitar and piano, and cooking. She is a member of St. Margaret Mary Church where she is a Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Level 1 Catechist and sings in the Schola. She is looking forward to being a part of the Ss. Peter and Paul School family and getting to know the students and their families.
