Clergy at St. Aidan’s
The Rev. Mary Kate Réjouis
Rector
The Rev. Mary Kate Rejouis came to St. Aidan’s in 2005. Prior to that, she served as the Vicar of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, Basalt, Colorado from 2000 to 2005 and as Associate Rector and Priest-in-Charge at St. Michael and All Angels, South Bend, Indiana. She was ordained to the Diaconate and Priesthood in 1997.
A native of Boulder, M. Mary Kate finds St. Aidan’s to be a place of really joyful ministry among the parish, with so many who have been part of the very early years of St. Aidan’s since its founding in 1948 and also in the Canterbury Episcopal Ministry. Campus ministry is vital to M. Mary Kate, who came through the Episcopal Campus ministry at Dartmouth College. She’s hoping to get back to swimming and running soon and mostly enjoys spending time with her two middle school-age children.

corey priebe
Office Manager
Corey hails from the great state of Nebraska and received his undergraduate degree from the University of Nebraska in Lincoln before moving to Colorado about 15 years ago. Don’t worry, he was a pretty quick convert to all things CU! Corey has spent the past 15 years working in campus ministry. He now finds himself back in school pursuing a graduate degree in how to care for traumatized individuals and communities through story work. He loves spending time with his wife, Grace, and their 3 growing boys. He is at his best after a good nap and a strong cup of coffee. He holds much anticipation and hope for what this next season at St. Aidan’s may have in store!
