Jennifer Ibach

Hello! My name is Jennifer Ibach and I am the Pastoral Associate for the four South Seattle Parishes (Sts. Edward, George, Paul, and Peter). I am so grateful to be ministering in the community where I live and attend church. My children are students at St. George School and I am a member of the School Commission. Before starting in this role, I worked as a Pastoral Assistant for Outreach at both Our Lady of Guadalupe in West Seattle and St. James Cathedral. I have also served as a Youth and Young Adult Minister at Holy Family in Kirkland and a Housing Case Manager. I have a Bachelor’s in Psychology with a Minor in Hispanic Studies and a Masters in Pastoral Studies from Seattle University. I am also a certified Lay Ecclesial Minister with the Archdiocese of Seattle through the Christifideles program. In my current role, I get to do a little of everything including Faith Formation, Outreach, Liturgy, and Administration. The days are always varied and full, which makes the job interesting and enjoyable. I love helping to build community, connect faith with action, and remind everyone just how loved they are by our merciful and caring God.
