We are very happy that Mike has agreed to take on the additional responsibility of working with the teens of our parish. He will oversee religious education classes for our high school students, coordinate the sacrament of Confirmation, and plan special outings and activities fpr teen including future mission trips. He will work closely with our dedicated volunteers as well as our new Director of Child Faith Formation, Lori Glass.
