A Little About Me and My Family.....Rick & Jenetta and Daniel, Joseph, & Clara Padilla
I thank God for being able to share the Catholic Faith while
being hom
e with my little ones! It is such a blessing.
I started as an account manager with Lighthouse Catholic Media in October of '07. In this role, I began sharing the Lighthouse program with parishes, currently serving parishes mostly in ND and SD. I currently serve the role of a region manager in which I help other account managers as well as help spread Lighthouse to more areas in the upper midwest. I thoroughly enjoy serving the Church through Lighthouse Catholic Media which is rooted in prayer and focused on sharing our Catholic Faith.
As to the loves in my life, my family, I married Rick in August of '02. My name changed from Fischer to Padilla. We now have two boys, Daniel Joseph, turning six in February, and Joseph Michael, age four and a half, and our little Clara Therese who turned one last October. I truly love being able to be home with my little ones. Rick works as a field technician with Weatherford Surface Logging Systems. Daniel and Joseph 'work' building ramps for cars as well as forts and complex train tracks complete with tunnels and bridges, lots of singing, and being full of energy. Clara 'works' to be right in there with her brothers who love their little sister.
Previously to life with my "little ones," I worked at summer camps and was involved in campus ministry and Collegians for Life until I graduated from University of Mary with majors in Elementary and Early Childhood Educ. and minors in Special Educ., Religious Educ., and Theology. After college graduation, I worked at a group home with teenage girls for one year, was a youth and young adult minister for four years at the Cathedral in Bismarck, tutored a little of everything at DHS, and then taught sophomores (Christology and social justice) and seniors (apologetics and vocations) at Trinity High School in Dickinson for two years. Another involvement was Camp ReCreation, a camp pairing teenagers with people with disabilities (www.camprecreationnd.com), where I was a counselor and then a director for 13 years, stepping back after the birth of Joseph in '07. Currently, I am involved in our active Badlands Right to Life chapter.
I enjoy serving parishes through Lighthouse Catholic Media and am one of the blessed ones who can say I love what I do. Feel free to contact me with any questions, ideas, or for more CDs or books. I'm here to be of help 
to you.
Know of my prayers for you and your parish.
