Catechist:
Hello, my name is Eric Heimkes. I have been a member of St Timothy’s Catholic church since 2003. I converted to the Catholic Faith in 1999. I am married to Theresa Heimkes who teaches middle school at our parish school. I am the father of 2 boys, one attending college at NDSU and the other attending Annandale High School. Both spent their elementary years at St. Timothy’s school. I believe there is nothing more important as a parent than passing on our faith to our children. I am passionate about sharing and passing on the faith to the next generation. I am very much looking forward to engaging with and connecting with your sons and daughters about the treasures and genius of the Catholic faith that God has given us. I pray that I will be able to find interesting ways to share the faith with your children that will create a curiosity and desire to learn more about their faith. Being a catechist is a new adventure that God has called me to and I’m looking very forward to the coming year.
