Tim’s leadership and vision. Steven is especially encouraged by the organization’s faithfulness to Catholic teaching and their continual seeking of innovative ways to develop hands-on catechetical methods and products that ultimately (with the help of the Holy Spirit) can open the hearts and minds of families to want a closer relationship with Jesus Christ and his Church.
Ann Marie Jennison
Secretary
Ann Marie has been married to her college sweetheart, Jeff, for 30 years. They have four children, two of whom have flown the nest and live in Dallas, while the younger two are in high school. She and Jeff have made it a priority to pray and serve the community together as a family on a regular basis since their children were very young. She is proud of their close-knit relationships and feels thankful that all four children continue to grow as Catholics as they live out their faith in words and actions. Ann Marie’s Catholic roots come from being raised in a Catholic family and by attending mass and CCD at St. Hedwig Catholic Church in Los Alamitos, CA where she grew up, though she admits that becoming a wife and mother were turning points that drew her into a deeper understanding of our faith. In 2005, her family was blessed to become founding members of Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Ladera Ranch, CA and currently they attend San Francisco Solano Catholic Church in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA. As a long-time believer in the importance of faith first being formed at home where children are most influenced, Ann Marie is excited about the potential that the Pathways programs have of transforming the lives and hearts of families no matter what stage they are in.

Colleen Moore
Board Member
Growing up, Colleen’s family's commitment to the faith and to caring for the poor in the South Bend Catholic Worker community was deeply formative for her and inspired her eventual study of theology and ministry, and her service as a Lay Associate of the Congregation of Holy Cross in Chile. Colleen earned both her bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies, a Catholic Great Books Program, and her Master of Divinity degree from the University of Notre Dame. She has served as Director of Notre Dame's Echo Program--a two-year graduate service program dedicated to forming the next generation of leaders in faith formation in Catholic parishes and schools-for fourteen years and recently assumed the role of Associate Director of Notre Dame's McGrath Institute for Church Life. Colleen's primary interests lie in integrative approaches to theology and ministry formation and at the intersection of spiritual formation, justice and art. She is grateful for the integrative and innovative work of Faith and Family Life Catholic Ministries and is honored to serve on its board. Colleen lives in South Bend, IN with her husband, Jake, and daughter, Evie, and is a buoyant member of South Bend Community Rowing.
