A welcome letter from Fr. Mattingly...Welcome to Religion class for grades 4 & 5. My name is Fr. Ryan Mattingly. I studied economics at the University of Illinois. After graduating in 2012, I spent six years studying at Mount Saint Mary's Seminary in Emmitsburg, Maryland. This past May, I was ordained a priest and assigned to St. Michael the Archangel Parish by Bishop Jenky.
I am looking forward to teaching the 4th and 5th graders Religion, as well as helping the 8th graders prepare for the sacrament of Confirmation. There are two goals for all of my classes this year. First, I want to help my students know more about God. Second, I want to help them put that knowledge to good use by loving God more. |
