Welcome Nicole Cordle And Karen Wiley To Our Parish Staff

St. Philip Neri is excited to announce the two newest additions to our parish staff. We welcome Nicole Cordle, who will serve as our Family Faith Formation Coordinator, and Karen Wiley, who will serve as our new parish Care Coordinator.

Nicole Cordle, Family Faith Formation Coordinator

“I am very excited to be serving as Family Faith Formation Coordinator!” Nicole says. “I grew up at St. Philip Neri and have just returned after several years away.”

Most recently, Nicole spent two years in Australia where she served as a missionary with NET Ministries, a Catholic youth organization.

“Serving with NET Ministries gave me an opportunity to work with hundreds of children and young adults across Australia through youth ministry events, retreats, faith studies, and encounter days at Catholic schools,” Nicole says. “It was a wonderful and life-changing experience that led me to pursue full-time work in ministry.”

Currently, Nicole is a graduate student in the M.A. Theology program at the Augustine Institute. She received a Post-Graduate Diploma in Theology from Catholic Theological College and a Bachelor of Music in Musical Theatre and Vocal Performance from Oklahoma City University.

Nicole is passionate about helping young people encounter Jesus, experience His love, and embrace His Church. continued on back cover

“My hope is that our faith formation ministries here at St. Philip Neri will ignite faith in the hearts of young people, engage and support families, and build meaningful community,” Nicole says. “Please reach out to me with any questions or just to say hello. I look forward to getting to know you all.”

Karen Wiley, Care Coordinator

“I love Jesus and His Church, and I am truly blessed to be able to serve Him here at St. Philip Neri where I have been a parishioner for 20 years,” Karen says.

Karen is the widow of John Wiley who also faithfully served this parish. Karen has six children, five children-in-law, and 17 grandchildren. For 16 years she taught sixthgrade math at the intermediate school in York. After retirement in 2018, Karen spent two years as a missionary volunteer with the Olancho Aid Foundation as a high school teacher of Catholic Spirituality and then as the principal of Santa Clara elementary school in Juticalpa, Honduras.

“Now it is my pleasure to serve as Parish Care Coordinator at St. Philip Neri,” Karen says. “I thank God and all of you for this opportunity and pray for the Godly wisdom and grace to do it well.”

While Karen already knows many of you, she looks forward to developing new friendships through this ministry. Reach out to Karen at carecoordinator@saintphilipneri.org or 803-548-7282 Ext. 225.
