MOMS Fall Journey Celebration Dinner 2023

Mom of the Month

Hello, Michelle Tetschner!

Michelle Tetschner is newer to Jacksonville, having moved here just over 2 years ago. She and her husband have been married for 35 years. She is the proud mom to three boys, and her youngest Raymond happens to have Down syndrome and rocks an extra chromosome. She is a Realtor, a writer and an author of the book Fully Included ~ Stories to Inspire Inclusion

She is starting a new nonprofit called the FIRE Foundation of NE Florida. Its mission is to include all students of varying learning abilities into our Catholic schools. She hopes to create awareness that all students can be included, and recognize how beautifully each and every person is created, in Gods own vision.

Most recently, Michelle served as a facilitator for the Spring 2023 MOMS Journey and graciously hosted OLSS MOMS for a brunch planning meeting. Thank you for all that you do, Michelle!




“A society without mothers would be a dehumanized society, for mothers are always, even in the worst moments, witnesses of tenderness, dedication and moral strength…

Dearest mothers, thank you, thank you for what you are in your family and for what you give to the Church and the world.”
