• Young Adult Ministry Becomes Lay Apostolate
    March 27, 2024
    We have shifted Young Adult Ministry from being part of the official programming of the parish to a "lay apostolate" meaning that we will be supporting non-staff lay members of our community who feel called to ministry to young adults. We will support those leaders with training, accompaniment, and use of our facilities. We will not be providing promotion or covering costs going forward. Myra Kraemer is one young adult who feels inspired to lead this effort, myra.kraemer22@gmail.com.
