School Board Members

Fr. Phil Tracy: Since 1988, Rev. Philip A. Tracy has been the executive director of St. John Catholic School in Winslow as well as the Pastor of the Parish of the Holy Spirit in the Central Maine Area which is comprised of the Catholic Churches in Waterville, Fairfield, Oakland, Winslow and Vassalboro, Maine. Father Phil has devoted a great deal of time and effort in the success of St. John School.

Father grew up in South Portland and graduated from Cheverus High School in 1980. His undergraduate degree is in Religious Studies and Philosophy from Bates College. He received his graduate degree from Catholic University in Washington, D.C.

He has served as a priest of the diocese for ten years and has had a wide variety of ministerial experiences. He ministered in the Maine State Prison for a year and, most recently, was a Chaplain at Bates and Bowdoin colleges. Two of the parishes he served ran Catholic schools, and he was very involved with the staff and students. He spent three years in the St. John Valley as pastor of three small churches and has had short stints as a hospital chaplain.

Although he is a "young" priest, he has kept rather busy. He has a passion for sports, and really enjoys music and reading and spending time spoiling his nieces and nephews.

Christa has been an active member of the school community since her daughters started attending about four years ago.

She lives in Winslow with her husband David, a St. John Alumni, and her two daughters Meg and Liz.
