Cheryl Archibald is the new Director of the Archdiocese of St. Louis' St. Charles Lwanga Center, following her position as Parish Life Coordinator at St. Pius V and St. Vincent de Paul parishes — a role she began in July 2018 as the first layperson in the Archdiocese to hold that position. Her ministry roots trace back to years as a youth minister at St. Nicholas Parish and decades mentoring teen mothers toward college, careers, and stability. Before entering pastoral work, she spent 31 years in federal Program Management and Systems Engineering, later earning a Master's in Pastoral Studies from Aquinas Institute of Theology. She serves on the boards of St. Francis Community Services, the Association of the Miraculous Medal, and Nazareth Living Center, and has chaired Catholic Charities' Board of Directors. Cheryl lives in Saint Louis with her husband, John, their two adult children, one grandchild, and an ever-expanding roster of adopted family.

We are so blessed to have her leading our ministry.
