Kathryn was baptized and married at St. Elias Orthodox Church and is part of a family with deep roots in the parish as members of the founding families of St. Elias. Her lifelong connection to the Church and parish community continues to shape her commitment to service.

Her career has centered on bringing people, systems, and ideas together to create practical solutions and help organizations grow through periods of change and transition.

In November 2025, Kathryn became the Business Administrator for St. Elias Orthodox Church, supporting the parish's administrative, financial, and operational needs. She has also been involved in the transition of St. Gregory the Theologian Orthodox Church, assisting with organizational and administrative needs during an important period of change, and will continue to support the parish as it moves forward in its growth and development.

Kathryn believes that administration is a form of service and is committed to using her professional experience and Orthodox faith to strengthen the organizations and communities she serves.
 
Getting to know Kathryn Albarado

• She loves to travel with her two favorite people, her husband Frank and her son Gus.

• Favorite past time is fishing.

• I have two Bible stories that I connect to deeply: the story of Moses and the story of Joseph protecting Jesus. Both remind me of the power of trusting God’s plan, even when we cannot see the entire journey. As the mother of an adopted son, I believe God’s will brought him to our family and that His plan is always at work.
