Michelle Pfister

I was born and raised in Missoula, Montana. I am the youngest
of six children. I met my husband, Greg, in high school. We were married in 1979 and a career took us to West Virginia, then on to New Jersey, then moving to Southern Illinois, then back to the East Coast where we lived in Delaware. In 1994 we were transferred to Northern California and we settled in Rocklin.

I spent some time in higher education which included interests in business and accounting. In July of 2010, I became the Coordinator of RCIA and Liturgy.  Prior to this assignment, I was Coordinator of Faith Formation for grades 1-6 at SS. Peter & Paul for fourteen years.  Prior to our time in Rocklin, I had worked alongside a Religious Education Director in Southern Illinois. I am a Master Catechist with the Diocese of Sacramento.

I am the mother of Katie and Thomas. Both children are married to beautiful people and they live locally. I am blessed with five grand-daughters and one grand-son.  Thanks be to God that we all live near each other!

I am most passionate about our family and spending time together. Outside interests include exercise, reading and wine tasting. We enjoy spending time in our home state Montana.

Some of my favorite things include the season of fall, the movie Sound of Music and Italian food. My mother, although deceased, remains an influential mentor for me.

I am a Eucharistic Minister and Coordinate Liturgy and the RCIA process.

We are always surrounded by God’s grace
 – the key is to be aware and recognize the Spirit of God among us!
