Kathy Araujo
Volunteer Coordinator

After living six years in Paris, France, Kathy returned to Oakland in 2016. She never dreamed she would live here again, 2 miles from the hospital where she was born and across the street from the cemetery where most of her family is buried! But here she is!

As a lifelong Episcopalian who has moved a considerable number of times, when she first came to St. John’s, she felt so welcomed, and was instantly included in parish life, so much a part of it all. She is so pleased to have found St. John's, a committed, forward thinking, engaged congregation, and it is her great pleasure to make sure everyone who comes to St. John’s gets the wonderful reception she got. 

In addition to her Invitation & Inclusion duties, Kathy also volunteers in the accounting department, paying church bills and assisting the Finance Committee.
