Meet Our Team
The Mission of Cor Jesu is governed by a Board of Directors. All Directors are faithful Catholics. The Executive Director of Cor Jesu is responsible for oversight of all ministries, activities, operations, employees, and volunteers.
Libby Oleferchik
President and Executive Director
Libby came to The Mission in December 2020, before its opening. Under her leadership and direction, the Mission changed direction, solidified their new mission and purpose, and opened in May of 2021. Since that time she and her team have been building a ministry dedicated to bringing all people to the Heart of Jesus Christ.
Libby is also the director of Rachel’s Vineyard Rockford, a post abortive healing ministry in the Northern Illinois area. Rachel’s Vineyard weekend retreats help post abortive women and men encounter the mercy of God and heal from past abortion experiences.
Prior to coming to Cor Jesu, Libby was the Administrative Officer at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at O’Hare International Airport, responsible for oversight of the Human Resources, Payroll, and Finance Departments. She also previously served on the Board of Directors for the Madonna Renewal Center in Freeport, IL.
She is an active parishioner at St. Mary Huntley, where she is a member of the Pastoral Council, committed adorer, and a Eucharistic minister for the homebound.

Moses
Therapy Dog/Chief of Security/Welcoming Team Captain
Moses has been at Cor Jesu since we opened our doors in 2021. He is an active member of all of our ministries.
Moses welcomes all guests at Cor Jesu and helps us to maintain a peaceful and playful atmosphere. Don’t let the eyes fool you, he is constantly conducting risk assessments.
Moses was recently certified as a therapy dog through the Alliance of Therapy Dogs. If you need some comfort, he is more than happy to let you pet him 😁.
Moses resides at Cor Jesu and can be found patrolling the ponds all summer long. He loves anything that squeaks, dog treats, all people, but most of all he loves balls. If you throw it, he will hunt it down and bring it back.
