Peg Wuelfing
is a native of New
Jersey, married since 1970 to her husband, Ed. For thirty years, they
raised their children, Peggy, Claire and Andy, in Columbus, Ohio and
founded a successful heating and air conditioning business there. Peg
received her B.A. in religious studies from the Pontifical College
Josephinum in Columbus OH; her M.A. in religious studies from the
University of Dayton, and her Ph. D. in educational leadership from the
University of Dayton School of Education and Allied Professions. Her
research focused on interdisciplinary curriculum and professional
development in Catholic schools. She is immensely grateful for the
privilege of 27 years of education in Catholic schools—from
kindergarten through her doctoral program. In 2001, Ed and Peg moved to
Boise, Idaho. She recently served for four years as the Director of
Adult Catholic Education Treasure Valley, a collaboration of 8 Catholic
parishes to sponsor adult education best achieved on the inter-parish
scale.
Peg Wuelfing has taught young people and adults in
church, school, diocesan, and seminary settings for over thirty years
in Ohio and Idaho. She currently serves as founder and director for
MCE, Mission Centered Education, Research and Retreatwork, LLC through
which she helps individuals and churches, schools, and service
organizations articulate and integrate their mission into their
day-to-day operations. She continues to facilitate retreats and to
present at regional and national conferences on a variety of topics
related to religious education, prayer and spirituality. A spiritual
companion for many years, Peg is excited to be completing her
internship in a program for spiritual direction and to be bringing this
opportunity to others in Idaho.
She and Ed worship at
St. Joseph Catholic Church in Idaho City, where she serves as a
catechist. A grandmother, writer, gardener, teacher and weekend chef,
Peg believes that what she does best is pray.
