Welcome to W.e.r.e.!

“Hi everyone my name is Ryan Lockemeyer and I am the director for Wednesday Evening Religious Education (WERE). 

WERE is for children 1st grade to 8th grade in need of Religious instruction outside of the school day.

For example if your children are homeschooled or enrolled in public school, they would benefit from this program. We meet every Wednesday night in a school calender type schedule. 

My wife Mary Kay Lockemeyer (Reilly) has been a member at Saint Mary's her entire life and we have two boys together, Ezekiel and Ezra, along with our cat and dog.

In my free time I like to fish, watch movies and sports with my brothers (fun fact is that I am a triplet) and play with my boys around the house, it is always busy! 

I got my BA degree from Miami University and my Masters from the University of the Cumberlands.

At the parish I am a lector and an EMHC, usually at the 930am mass and I also volunteer with the local Knights of Columbus council and assembly in the area.

As a convert to the Church at Easter in 2016, it has been amazing to see where God has led me in life and I am thrilled to help lead students in their growth and knowledge of the faith”
