Staff Formation

My name is Mark Ruedinger, and I am the principal of Christ Child Academy. We are a Catholic school committed to partnering with parents in the education of their most precious gifts – their children. Education of the whole child – spiritually, academically, emotionally, socially, and physically – is of primary importance to our school.
Our vision and purpose flow from the Gospel message of faith, hope, and love. Teaching this message permeates our curriculum. Our students receive a value-based education where morals are stressed and taught throughout the day in every classroom. Through this Christ-centered environment, our social conscience is heightened enabling our students to be actively engaged in service and community projects. We understand the importance of giving back because we have been given so much. Praying together each day is a gift that we treasure. At Christ Child Academy, we have one class of every grade from Pre-K3 to grade 8. This provides us with a small nurturing environment where children are encouraged and cared for in a special way to reach their potential. Christ Child Academy provides a supportive and faith-filled setting for its students to grow and learn. Strong academics are of prime importance to the mission of our school. Our faculty is committed to professional development. Staff development is a crucial part of improving the educational program. I invite you to take a moment and view the information on our website. If you would like more information about our school or a tour of the facilities, please call our school office at (920) 459-2660. |

My name is Judy Dillman. As Faith Formation Director, it is my job to help the young parishioners (and their families) get to know God through God’s gift to us, the Catholic Church.
I prepared for this position with over 20 years of Catholic education from first grade through graduate school. I have an M.A. in Pastoral Studies from St. Francis de Sales Seminary in Milwaukee. When not at work, I am busy with my family which includes four grown children, their spouses, and six grandchildren ranging in age from 1 to 20. In my spare time I like to read, crochet, and sing. |

My name is Sister Susan Hetebrueg. I have been in Sheboygan about two years and have been working with those who are interested in joining the Catholic Church. In formal church language this process is called RCIA, the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. It goes on all year so people can come when they feel ready to begin inquiring about our faith. It is a blessing to journey with people as they come to deepen their faith and grow in their relationship with Christ.
My home is in West Bend, Wisconsin. It is from there that I entered religious life and became a School Sister of Notre Dame. I have been in the community for 50+ years. Sisters in my community have served at Holy Name in Sheboygan for many years. I received my BA from our own college, now called Mount Mary University in Milwaukee. I also received an MA in Pastoral Studies from Loyola University in Chicago. I have enjoyed the ministry of teaching in many different settings – the classroom, on-going formation for our sisters, and adults in Catholic parishes. |
