Wendy Cichanski Caduff

Wendy Cichanski Caduff works full time in pastoral ministry at St. Thomas Becket in Eagan, MN. Married with two children through the gift of adoption, she is raising the family she always dreamed of but never thought she’d have. As an older mom, she advocates for games at the table, not on the floor. When she’s not ministering or mothering, she’s

She co-authored Liturgy and Ministry in Times of Need (LTP), is a contributing writer for the award-winning publication, Give Us This Day (Liturgical Press) and writes about mothering, faith, and adoption in her newsletter on Substack, “Making Space.” https://makingspace123.substack.com/ She loves theater, water, walks in the woods, wild birds, and perennial flowers.
