We Welcome Our New Principal,
Mrs. Julie Delaney

It is wonderful to be back home at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic School in my new role as principal. My 25 years in education have been in Catholic schools. My most recent experience was at Lourdes Catholic School in Bettendorf where I served as principal last school year. Prior to that, I was here at St. Paul the Apostle School for 18 years primarily as the 7/8th grade Science teacher and homeroom Religion teacher.

Originally from Dubuque, Iowa, I received a Catholic education at St. Joseph the Worker School. My husband, John, grew up in Fort Madison, Iowa, and attended Aquinas Catholic Schools. John is an Associate Professor in the Accounting Department at Augustana College. Our son, Brian, is a Junior at Assumption High School. It is Great to be back!

We Welcome Ray Knight as our
new Youth Minister

I am the second of five children to Valerie and James Knight of Carlinville, IL. I spent the last five years of my life in the greater Chicagoland area spending my college years on the Northside at Loyola University, spending a year on the Southside at St. Rita of Cascia High School in the classroom, Campus Ministry, and Activities Office, and spending a year at LaSalle Manor Retreat Center near Aurora, IL.

On August 29, I got married to Bridget. She just graduated with a Masters of Professional Accountancy and has started with John Deere. I have been blessed to have this opportunity to serve Saint Paul the Apostle Parish and the Quad Cities Community. We had fun at the Oktoberfest and we have scheduled a lot of youth events that are coming up. Check the Youth columns in the Parish Bulletin and the Parish Center bulletin board.
