Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read these bio’s!!  My name is Jim Soltau and this will be my forty-second year of being a Youth Ministry & Confirmation Coordinator (thirty-nine at St. Anne’s).  I’m most looking forward to this year because of the challenges we face and how we will overcome them.  We (myself and the staff) are going to do our very best to provide a Confirmation experience that will allow you to love and learn about your faith in unique ways.

My wife Lucy, who is the Director of Religious Education in Menlo Park, and I have been married for 37 years. We live in Union City and have two children, Mike and Becky who are both married, and a Grandson, Greyson.  I’m an avid Giants and 49ers fan since I grew up in San Francisco.  When time allows, I love playing golf.

Most of all I want to brag about this Confirmation Staff...they are the best!!!  Each one and collectively as a group are passionate about their faith and live that out every single day.  I am so proud to work with them and call them my friends as well.

My favorite Saint, Saint Francis, wrote and closed his letters with how I will do so here...a wish for you and your families throughout this year:  Peace and all good!
