Message From New Director

Hello Christ the King Community!

Some of you I know very well, and some of you I have not met…yet. My name is Megan Mottet (m-AW-t-ee), and I have been named as Christ the King’s new Director of Faith Formation. 

I have  been married to my husband, Chris Mottet, for 14 years, and we have three boys who attend Christ the Kind School (CKS). We have been parishioners of Christ the King since 2017 when our family relocated to the Lexington area from central Ohio.

I grew up outside of a small Northwest Ohio farm community, in a home where we sporadically attended various Protestant Sunday services. During my Freshman year in college, I encountered the Holy Spirit at a Catholic prayer group, and I came into the fullness of the Catholic 

Faith just after graduating with my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology in 2003. In the following years, I studied for a Master’s degree and spent my spare time diving deeper into understanding our rich and enlightening Faith.

In 2005, I graduated with a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and met Chris. For about nine years, I worked in community mental health and private practice in Central Ohio where Chris and I started our family. After welcoming our second son, I felt the call to go into the home full time to focus on our growing family and to continue learning about our Faith so I could teach our children. It was not long after that decision when Chris’ career brought us to the Lexington area, and we found Christ The King.

We are truly blessed to have settled here. We have loved watching our boys grow up surrounded by so many loving CKS teachers and staff. I have found true friendships in other Mom  parishioners, and I have greatly valued the maternal support from the many friends I have made from the Catholic Way Bible Study. Christ The King has truly become our extended family.

As our boys have grown, I prayed about what God had in store for the next stage of my life. The message I consistently received from Him was that I would return to working outside of the home and helping others after our youngest son started Kindergarten. I believe it is no coincidence that our son will be a kindergartner this Fall, and God has now placed me in a role where I get to do my favorite thing outside of being a Mom, sharing our rich Catholic Faith with others!

I am humbled and honored to have been chosen for this important role. My prayer is to be able to deepen the Faith of each parishioner who seeks it and to inspire others into desiring to seek the Faith. I will work diligently and collaboratively to strengthen our Catholic ministries, be available on a one-on-one basis for spiritual support, and will use new forms of communication to share ways we can glorify God and grow in intentional discipleship!

Each of you are in my daily prayers, and I humbly ask for your prayers as well as we embark on this journey together!

In Christ,

Megan L. Mottet, MS
