Bio: Jennifer Runge
Jennifer Runge, MM, is Director of Sacred Music for Parish of the Holy Eucharist (Diocese of Portland) which includes four churches on the beautiful, coast of Maine (Falmouth, Freeport, Gray and Yarmouth), just 10 miles north of Portland. Jen grew up singing in her dad’s church choir in northeastern Massachusetts and had her first experience with Lessons & Carols at Phillips Exeter where she attended high school. After a 12-year career in private school choral music education (and 5-year maternity pause!) she made the switch to full-time liturgical music ministry in 2013. She is also the only certified Making Music, Praying Twice instructor - an early-childhood Catholic-based music and movement curriculum - in Maine.
She lives in a 318-yr old colonial home in Yarmouth with her husband, 3 daughters, dog, and 2 guinea pigs.
