A little bit about Mrs. Ryan...

My family and I are parishioners at Holy Trinity where all three of our children attended school. My husband and I will celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary in December, which is still hard for us to believe.

The Ryan family recently adopted our dog Mason from our aunt who could no longer walk him like she thought he deserved. He is a poodle and we just love him so much!

I love my friends fiercely and once you are in my world I look forward to a lifetime of friendship. I love my Mizzou Tigers, my St. Thomas Aquinas Saints, and my family even more. But I love Jesus the most and St. Monica is a close and dear friend.

God has led me to Holy Cross and after being here for a short while I know why. I continue to look for the gifts your children bring to share each day and I love them like they are my own. Thank you for sharing your children with me for this school year. I know this year will continue to be amazing!

This is Mason. He is sweet, lazy, and loves his new family. He likes to take long walks in the neighborhood and smell every tree we pass. When his hair is too long he has to wear a clip so he can see.

My mom was so excited when we got together to celebrate her 77th birthday! Our niece and nephew joined the fun too!

These are my reasons. We love to celebrate together and try to find any reason we can! This day was for my husband on Father's Day.

These are our three children, Liam is in the back seat. He is a senior at St. Thomas Aquinas. Winnie is in the passenger seat; she is in nursing school and will graduate in December. Maggie is the driver and is a hair stylist in Lenexa. I am so happy they love one another!

This is my family with my mother and father-in-law at Christmas Eve Mass last year. We have a tradition of going to Redemptorist for this Mass as we love the music and the beauty of this church.
