Katherine Bush joined the staff of Holy Communion in April 2005, but she was baptized here as an infant in 1975! Katherine grew up in this parish, and also attended St. Mary's Episcopal School. Following graduation from Rhodes College with degree in English, she taught at the Maria Montessori School and then returned to St. Mary Episcopal School's as their interim chaplain. Katherine attended Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Virginia and received her Master’s in Divinity with honors in 2003. Before coming to work at Church of the Holy Communion, she served for two years at St. Mary's Cathedral in downtown Memphis.

At Holy Communion, Katherine serves as the Associate Rector for Formation and Family Ministries. She works closely with staff and lay leaders to coordinate engaging workshops, small groups and classes for spiritual formation. Teaching and leading many of these classes is a primary source of energy and joy for her in her work. The other aspect of Katherine’s ministry involves working with couples and families to develop and support them in all stages their life-long journeys. Specifically, she manages aspects of our Marriage ministries and is the contact person for all those seeking Baptism.

Katherine's husband Stephen is an attorney, and their world was permanently turned upside down in May 2006 when sons Henry and John arrived on the scene! All four live happily in midtown with their dog Ellie, named for the poet T. S. Eliot. Katherine is an avid reader- mostly board books these days, though, remembers eating out in restaurants fondly, and hopes to learn how to play the violin - someday.
