Jen Reinard joined the St. John Neumann staff in April of 2016 in the role of Communication Manager.  Jen has a Bachelor’s degree from Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri.  Prior to joining the parish staff, she worked for five years assisting children and families at the Children’s Advocacy Center in Chicago’s northwest suburbs.  She then moved to the field of healthcare association management and spent 19 years as the Education Manager for the American Pain Society.

Jen and her husband, Scott, have been married for 21 years and have two daughters, both of whom are active in youth activities at St. John Neumann.

Jen enjoys spending time with friends and family, doing volunteer work, and writing.  She is a native Chicagoan and has honed her sense of optimism by being a long-suffering Cubs fan; that optimism was rewarded in 2016 when the Cubs finally won the World Series.

St. John Neumann is an amazing parish and community and Jen is blessed to have the opportunity to work with the parishioners and staff.
