Paul Masek
Program Director
Paul Masek has been married to his beautiful wife Lisa for over 30 years, they have four incredible adult children, and for fun he loves hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, and telling dad jokes. He is the funniest person he knows, though his wife says he doesn’t know enough people (so maybe she is funnier)! His history with MRCC goes all the way back to 1981 when he attended a retreat here as a high school senior at Mercy High School. He brings over 30 years of retreat ministry experience with young people of all ages, and has received his certificate in Spiritual Direction from the Archdiocese of St. Louis’ Catholic Renewal Center. Paul believes that God always has MORE in store for us! You can email Paul at paul@marianistretreat.com or you can call or text him at 314.608.5447
