Kelly Murphy

“While working in a corporate job, I realized I was missing something. I was missing giving back to the community. There is no better way to give back than through children. Each time I see a face light up, I know that I made the right the decision.”
 
From software designer to grade-school teacher, Kelly Murphy knows exactly where her heart lies: in the classroom. A Christ the Redeemer parishioner and Religious Education catechist, Kelly said that CtR is home.
