Claire Wallin

I joined Our Lady of Grace in 2014 after moving to the Twin Cities area from Central Minnesota. After attending an Ash Wednesday service, I knew I had found my new home! I was immediately drawn in by the beauty of the sanctuary, engaging liturgy, and strong sense of a faith-filled community. In 2017, my then-fiancé completed RCIA and the sacraments of initiation, and a few months later we were married at OLG.  We have since welcomed three children, celebrated their baptisms at OLG, and are proud members of the OLG School Community with our oldest starting Kindergarten this year.

Professionally, I have spent the last eight years working in business operations with an emphasis in project management, organizational effectiveness, and end-to-end operations planning.  Within our parish, I serve as the lead Baptism Coordinator and co-facilitate a Cana small group. My hope as a member of the Parish Council is to continue fostering the strong sense of Catholic community at Our Lady of Grace, and in a special way represent the unique needs of families with young children within our parish.
