Katie Griep became the Director of Advancement at CtRCS in 2019. Katie has an extensive and diverse academic background and has spent much of her professional career working in Catholic education.

Katie received her Bachelor of Social Work with a Minor in Religious Studies from Marywood University in 2002. She received her Masters of Science in Student Personnel from University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 2004. Previously, she worked at Mount Saint Joseph Academy in Flourtown, Penn. as the Dean of Students. Most recently, she was the Director of Admissions at St. Pius X High School in Houston as well as Coordinator of Sacraments at Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church. 

She and her husband Jon moved to Houston in 2009 and quickly found Christ the Redeemer.

“We fell in love with the community. Christ the Redeemer not only became our church, it became our home,” she said.

Katie and Jon have two young children, Gideon and Claire, both Christ the Redeemer Crusaders. Katie has been a member of St. Anne’s Society, volunteered with Friends in Need, Vacation Bible School and has taught Religious Education for grades 9, 7, 2 and
Pre-K.

“My heart has always been pulled toward parish ministry and sacrament preparation. Working with our elementary and middle school students and families in this way feeds my spirit and renews my own faith journey, so when I was offered the coordinator position I couldn’t say no. I am excited and humbled to serve in this way,” she said.
