Kathy and I have been married for 43 years.  We have 3 children and 4 grandchildren.  In 2021 I retired after 14 years as a rural mail carrier.  We live on a third generation family farm in Cole County near Taos, just across the river and up the hill from County Road 503. Kathy has Westphalia roots and many of her cousins live there.

I was ordained as a permanent deacon on April 30, 2016 by Bishop Gaydos and was assigned to St. Francis Xavier in Taos. Bishop McKnight appointed me as Co-Pastoral Care Coordinator at Westphalia Hills in February of 2019.  In May of 2019 he assigned me to assist the pastor at St. Joseph and St. Anthony and I assumed that duty in June.

Kathy and I are truly blessed to serve you.

For those who don't know me, my name is Dawn Haslag and my family has been a member of the parish for a little over 15 years.  We've been blessed with an incredible parish family who welcomed us in with open arms and who helped us so immensely through our darkest of days after the death of our son, Caden, on July 15, 2020.  Without our parish family who prayed, comforted us and consoled with such fervor, we wouldn't be where we are today, so thank you!

Our family lives on my husband's family farm in Loose Creek where we farm cattle on a little over 400 acres.   We were blessed with two boys, Caden and Easton, and two pets, our dog, Boone, and cat, Rasfuschia.  Easton is a senior at Fatima High School, an honor student, involved in basketball and track where he sprints and throws the javelin.  My husband and college sweetheart, Keith, is a mechanic for the City of Jefferson.  I grew up in Meta, was a member of St Cecilia Parish, and the daughter of Gerald and Phyllis Rehagen.  I was one of four children: one older brother, Greg, one older sister, Darla, and a younger sister, Deann.  I graduated from Vienna High School and then went onto Linn State Technical College and received a degree Design Drafting.  Shortly thereafter, I started working for MoDOT, where I worked for 30 years.  I enjoy my prayer time, arts and crafts, reading, baking, traveling and spending time with family and friends.  

I'm so excited to start this new chapter and begin giving back to the family who has given us so much.  Stop by anytime to see me in the office and introduce yourself if I'm a new face to you or to just say HI if we are already acquainted!
