Hi! I am Krista Harding,  I have a Bachelors degree in education from Emporia State University and I am entering my 10th year of teaching (and my 7th year at Saint Patrick’s).  

 I am married to David Harding and we have a son Joseph who is a Freshman at Saint James Academy in Lenexa. I met my husband at an eye doctor's office I was working in at the time...he had a fishing accident and was a patient. My supervisor at the time played matchmaker and we have been together ever since!  God works in mysterious ways, I never in a million years expected to meet my husband there!

I have been blessed to be a part of Saint Patrick’s parish all of my life. My Catholic faith is the greatest gift I have ever been given (thanks mom!). It is my faith that has allowed me to understand the joys and sorrows I have encountered in my life, to know that Jesus is there for us, he will take our sadness (or Joy)  and make something greater come from it,  we just need to trust in him. Saint Patrick's church has been a part of all that I am and I am so grateful to everyone who makes Catholic education possible here, I am so blessed to be a part of it.

"To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you." - C.S. Lewis
