My name is Jodie Clark and I am your Pastoral Assistant for Faith Formation.  I have worked in ministry for almost 40 years and have served 4 Tacoma parishes and our Seattle Cathedral over this time period.  I have several areas of ministry that I oversee here at St Charles. My primary responsibility is the  Religious Education program  that serves preschoolers through sixth grade.  I also help to coordinate the Adult Bible Study groups and provide staff support to them as well as some of our small faith communities.. I  oversee the Book club group that meets here on our campus and the Parish Library.  I also coordinate the Lenten Small Group studies we have.  Lastly, I coordinate and implement  the two major festivals during Advent and Lent for the parish.   I am here for you so if you have any questions about any type of faith formation, please give me a call.
             I have been a parishioner here at St. Charles since 2005 and employed here since 2008.  I am married to Bruce Clark and we have 5 adult children.  I  currently have 4 granddaughters pictured below . I have been involved  with my husband, Bruce in Northwest Worldwide Marriage Encounter, St. Charles' Marriage Renewal, Religious Education and we have served as Lectors and Eucharistic ministers.  We enjoy time together as a family playing games (new favorite is Vitaculture), biking, camping, hiking and making memories together. We completed the Bible in a Year program last year and are looking forward to the Catechism in a Year beginning January 2023.
