Meet Our Principal
Mrs. Denise Ball is a certified teacher with over twenty years of experience within the world of education. This is her sixth year in administration. She received her Master of Education from the University of Detroit Mercy with a focus on curriculum and instruction and was inducted into Alpha Sigma Nu, the Jesuit Honor Society. When time permits, Denise likes to spend time outdoors with her family, write academic eBooks and develop professional development programs.
Mrs. Ball is an Army veteran and has been married to a fabulous husband for twenty-three years. She has two joy-filled children, Nathaniel and Claire. Denise’s strong faith in Christ encourages her to live an intentional life, in the moment. It has always been her way to take the path less chosen AND it has made all the difference! She feels blessed to be a part of such an amazing Christ-centered community like St. Augustine School and looks forward to the many adventures Christ has planned for her here.
Meet Our Pastor
Fr. John A. Williamson
Fr. John A. Williamson is the pastor of the Catholic Community of Ascension & St. Augustine and of St Augustine School. Fr. John grew up in Perry Hall, MD and attended St. Joseph Fullerton. He then went on to Loyola Blakefield and then to Mt. St. Mary's University. Fr. John completed his graduate and seminary studies at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. He was ordained in 2000 and became an Associate Pastor at St. Jane Frances de Chantal, the Cathedral of Mary our Queen, and then the Catholic Community of South Baltimore where he later became the Administrator. Fr. John was named Pastor of Church of the Ascension in Halethorpe in 2008 and Pastor of St. Augustine in 2011. He has since presided over the merging of the churches into one vibrant parish on two active campuses. He is very excited to be working in a parish with so many young people and so much vitality and growth.
