Several new employees have recently begun serving the Diocese of Wichita.
Mark Miller
Mark Miller began duties Feb. 11 as the Director of Cemeteries. He succeeds Jim Sheldon who is now retired.
Miller is taking a side step into his new job, which he says reflects his “passion for the Catholic Church…to serve others in this corporal work of mercy to bury the dead.” He previously worked for a regional funeral supply company where he designed and estimated cemetery monuments for dozens of funeral homes throughout the Midwest.
Most of his business career was spent managing operations and sales for a sign and graphics business that he and his wife, Loretta, owned for about 25 years. The Millers and their daughter are members of St. Jude Parish in Wichita.
