Hello! I'm Katie, and I am honored to serve as the Director of Youth Ministry at our parish, where I endeavor to bring dedication and passion to nurturing our youth in their faith journeys.
My role goes beyond a titleāit's a calling to engage with parish youth, fostering relationships that strengthen their lives and deepen their faith. I organize fellowship opportunities that connect our youth with positive adult role models, creating environments for faith development and personal encounters with Our Lord.
The most rewarding part of my role is witnessing God's transformative work in the lives of our remarkable young people. Each day, I eagerly approach my work, excited to see what God has in store for our ministry and the youth we serve.
My journey to youth ministry is shaped by a diverse professional background. With experience in customer service and photography, I've developed valuable skills in working with people. Managing our parish school's cafeteria allowed me to become part of our youth's daily lives, deepening my love for engaging with them.
Outside of ministry, I'm a lively extrovert who cherishes spending time with friends. I enjoy comedic media, from improv to social media content creators and comedians. Family adventures with my husband, Ray, and our daughters, Elizabeth (10) and Eleanor (1), fill our lives with excitement and love.
Academically, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Communication Studies, which enhances my ability to connect and communicate effectively with our parish's youth and families.
I am deeply committed to guiding our youth to recognize that they are deeply loved by God and have a unique purpose in life. I am here to walk alongside you if you're seeking support or guidance for your youth. Let's nurture and empower our youth to embrace God's plan for their lives.
