Hi! My name is Katherine Wermes. I am the Assistant Secretary here at Lourdes. I just started working here at the end of June this year. My family & I have been members at Our Lady of Lourdes for just over 7 years since we moved to Iowa. Ryan, my husband of 11 years is working at the Quad Cities Airport, as an Air Traffic Control Supervisor. He is the reason we ended up here in Iowa, but we have stayed because we love it here! My kids have been going to school at Lourdes for 6 years, Emmaleigh is in 4th grade and Owen is in 1st grade. It is a privilege to have not only volunteered but to get to be a part of the staff in such an amazing school that we love! My prior experience includes 4 years doing bookkeeping at a bank and 15 years as a restaurant manager. Working at the school is by far my favorite, watching the kids go out to big toy past the front office is a great part of my day!  When I get some rare time off I love to see live theater & musicals with my family. Museums and historical sites are also favorites of mine! I look forward to meeting all of you this school year!
