St. Augustine Parish

St. Augustine welcomes Ivana Mullner as our Director of Religious Education. Ivana was born in Zurich, Switzerland but moved to Boise, ID with her parents and four siblings when she was 11. She recently moved to Spokane after completing her Master of Arts in Biblical Languages at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. During her graduate studies, she lived and worked at the Oakland Catholic Worker, where she directed an ESL (English as a Second Language) program for recently arrived immigrants. 

After spending two years in California, Ivana considers her move to Spokane a bit of a "return home" to the great Inland Northwest. She enjoys hiking, biking, and camping. In these activities, she is often accompanied by her boyfriend Marc, who had a lot to do with her decision to move to Spokane. In bad weather, Ivana might be seen knitting or playing her trombone, or perhaps she is still out on a bike ride. Ivana is excited to get to know and work with parishioners of all ages at St. Augustine Parish. She kindly accepts welcome gifts of chocolate in the parish office!
