Hello! My name is Katy Schoos. My husband Brian and I moved to Washington in 2000 and we quickly became parishioners of St. Andrew. We are extremely blessed to have 3 wonderfully energetic children: Charlie (9), Will (6), and Meredith (5). They constantly keep us on our toes, but more importantly draw us into a deeper relationship with God.

I was raised Catholic, attended Catholic schools, and did what all “good” Catholics should do - even helped to convert my husband to Catholicism. But it wasn’t until 9 years ago, with the birth of my first son, when something changed within me. I realized that my faith and my relationship with God was not just a checklist to complete but was truly a relationship that was meant to be lived out each and every minute of every day. I genuinely love being Catholic. It is who I am.

I am honored to be serving the St. Andrew community as a member of the Pastoral Council and am eager to hear your comments and concerns. It is my hope, that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, St. Andrew will be a community of parishioners who are excited to live out their faith each and every day.
