Michael Jarecke

MICHAEL JARECKE transferred his membership last year from Council 9563 in Lincoln, Neb. Michael and his wife, Ana, are Nebraska natives. He graduated from the University of Nebraska but notes that, as an Irish Catholic, he’s a proud fan of Notre Dame. He’s not sad the Cornhuskers recently left the Big 12 and no longer make annual football trips to Texas. “In the Big 12, they’d get crushed,” he said. Michael is self-employed, and Ana is a pediatric nurse practitioner. They moved to Texas early this year and jumped right in on parish activities. They and their children (Charles, 14, and Isabella, 10) all helped at the Pentecost Picnic.
