Director of Religious Education:
Patricia Marks reledk_5@bedfordcatholic.org
Our Director of Religious Ed, Patricia Marks, was born in Canada, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island. A Bedford resident since 1977, Pat has been involved in parish ministry for 31 years and loves being a part of St. Michael Parish.
Pat is a devoted mom of two, and a proud grandmother to five precious boys. She loves to spend time with her grandchildren, read, walk and camp. She's not so keen on skateboarding though. Don't ask.
Finance Administrator & Operations:
Ann-Marie Baratta finance_ops@bedfordcatholic.org
Ann-Marie Baratta and her husband, George, are long-time Bedford residents. She began her work with St. Michael Parish in the Religious Ed office as a volunteer when her children, GJ and Kristen, were young, and later joined the staff officially in 2006. Both her children are grown now—GJ resides with his wife, Amy, in Westford, and Kristen resides in Somerville. Ann-Marie enjoys cooking and baking, and spending as much time as possible with family and friends.
Religious Education Office Manager:
Beth Santaella reledoffice@bedfordcatholic.org
Beth and her family have lived Bedford for 6 years and love the sense of community and friendship in our small town. Beth previously worked as an executive assistant/office manager before taking the last 8 years off to be a stay at home mom to her two children. In her spare time she enjoys reading, travelling, gardening and spending time with friends and family.
Associate Director, Religious Ed (Grades 6 - 9)
Michelle Colasante and her family have just completed a full decade with a Bedford address, and love this community. Michelle dove back into the world of employment with the Religious Ed office after spending 9 years as a stay-at-home mom to Matt. In her spare time, she loves to drink ridiculous amounts of iced coffee, decorate (any excuse to visit a nearby HomeGoods), prepare as many Ina Garten recipes as she can (nothing better than a great-smellin' kitchen), and make people laugh.
