MaryAlice Hogan
MaryAlice was born in Norristown, Pennsylvania. After 12 years of Catholic education, she continued her studies at Gwynedd-Mercy College, where she earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education with Certification in Early Childhood. She moved to Florida with her parents in 2002, where she taught in the Citrus County School District and worked as a Youth Education Specialist for the Southwest Florida Water Management District. During that time, MaryAlice acquired additional certification in Middle Grades Integrated Curriculum. Not long after, she met her husband, Dan. Together they have two children, Joseph and Julianne. She and her family started attending St. Johns in 2015. MaryAlice’s life has always revolved around ministry. From the age of 9, she was a reader, choir member, and events volunteer. At age 13, she supported her father in his decision to apply to the Permanent Diaconate Formation Program for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, even being interviewed by the selection committee to give her consent for her father to be a deacon. By age 18, MaryAlice was a catechist, assisting her mother who was the Director for Religious Education at their local parish. Since joining St. John’s, MaryAlice has been a part of the Art & Environment Committee to help decorate the Church. She also serves as a reader, PowerPoint presenter, and most recently, Children’s Faith Formation Coordinator (as of May, 2022). MaryAlice loves being a part of the Catholic Community of St. John the Baptist and she looks forward to continuing to serve the parents and children of her parish family.
