Fr. Paul Àdajà - our New Priest

 Paul Ọlátúbọ̀sún Àdajà was born and raised in Southwest Nigeria. He had his Catholic Seminary education in the Seminary of All Saints, Uhiele-Ekpoma, Nigeria. 

Fr Paul was ordained a Catholic Priest in July 2009 for the Diocese of Èkìtì, Nigeria. After ordination, he served as the Diocesan Secretary from 2009-2013. 


He was sent to the United States by his Diocese in 2013 for graduate studies. He earned his doctorate in New Testament and Early Christianity (Theology) from Loyola University Chicago in August 2021 majoring in St Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians. Prior to earning his doctorate, he received a Master of Arts degree in Biblical Languages and Literature from Loyola University Chicago in May 2015. 


Fr Paul enjoys talking about the Catholic Faith, the Sacred Scriptures, his nieces, his nephews, cousins, his students, the joy of being a Nigerian and the real football (Americans call it soccer). 


From August 2014 to June 2023, he served the Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of Chicago at Ss. Peter and Lambert Parish, Skokie, Illinois. He is happy to be here in St. Gertrude to share in the life, joys, and challenges of the community!

Father Paul's email is padaja@archchicago.org. He also can be reached at adajapaul@gmail.com.

Kathryn Flynn, St. Gertrude Music Director

 Hi! I’m Kathryn and I’m the new Music Director here at St. Gertrude parish! I just graduated this past spring with my Master’s degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and am so excited to be working with such a vibrant and welcoming parish. 


I’ve met many of you already and am hopeful and eager to be planning the Music Ministry for such a dedicated community, both musically and spiritually. 


I’ve been involved with Catholic music ministry since age 8, when I joined the adult church choir at my hometown parish with my grandmother, who will be turning 95 in August. She was always the oldest choir member, and I always remained the youngest until I left for college. While “on paper” I am a classically-trained singer, I bring a lot of versatility as a pianist/accompanist, opera enthusiast, as well as a musical theatre actor/performer. 


I have a lot of experience in both community theatre and university opera/theatre environments, as well as choral background with both semi-professional chorales and University chorales alike. I’ve done my fair share of being a choir section leader, leading my own church music ministry groups, and working as a cantor/soloist at various parishes throughout my time both in high school and college. 


In my free time, I am exploring Chicago every chance I get, as I’m brand new to the city! Otherwise, I like to walk my cat, “Kemps” (I’m originally from Wisconsin and he’s a Tuxedo rescue...so I named him after the Wisconsin dairy company), or find new coffee shops/ eclectic neighborhood bars. I’m looking forward to meeting more of you as time goes on. Please don’t hesitate to reach out - I’d love to get to know you!

~Kathryn Flynn

Sr. Susan Quaintance, OSB, the New Heart to Heart Director

 My name is Susan Quaintance, OSB, and I am a member of the Benedictine Sisters of Chicago at St. Scholastica Monastery in Rogers Park; currently I am serving as the community subprioress. Working with the volunteers and members of St. Gertrude’s Heart to Heart program is an opportunity that is such a gift. 


Long interested in issues affecting older adults, I have spent the last decade of my professional life working in that sphere: first in the Center for Life and Learning at Fourth Presbyterian Church and then at Comfort Keepers, an agency that places home health aides with people who need care in their homes. Prior to that, I happily taught English and Theology at St. Scholastica Academy for 23 years. 

~ Sr. Susan

Please contact Sr. Susan via email at squaintance@stgertrudechicago.org or at 872.296.2537.
