Aloha!  I am, Sacha Anne Etzel who joyfully grew up in a Irish Catholic family playing at the beach, attending Mass, and going to middle school at St. Monica’s Catholic school and church. I am forever grateful for my family roots and being raised in the Catholic faith. My Aunt Kate was an inspiration to me saying 14 rosaries a day! Sr. Ruth Etzel SSMO and Sr. Josephine Shultz, a Benedictine Sr. at Mt. Angel (both who've passed) were life changing for my family as I often visited the Sisters in their convents. I have a deep devotion and love of Mother Mary and am forever grateful to go to daily Mass to receive our Lord.

I have been blessed with a wonderful husband, John Etzel and four grown children. When my husband wanted to move back to Stayton, on our 4^th generation Century family Farm, the Lord called Sacha to work at Immaculate Conception church, after volunteering for the church for 30 years. Having a 2 year certification in Pastoral Ministries, the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Level 1 training, the St. Ignatius 19 Annotations, a Bachelors and a Masters degree in Organizational Management & Leadership, directed an in home daycare, worked as an Educator, and in administration for over 28 years the Lord has been so good to me.

Fun facts: I am a beach girl who used to duck dive big waves and skate big hills.

I enjoy singing, gardening, baking, cooking, and crafting. My husband and I enjoy traveling when we aren't busy caring for our family and farm. 

 I hope to meet you and to share in our faith together! God bless you!
