This independent website was created in 2005, my second year as Youth Ministry Coordinator at St. Patrick Church in Louisville KY. Donald Wachtel assisted in creating the site. I am a native of New Albany, Indiana and received my undergraduate degree from Indiana University Southeast. I earned my National Certificate in Youth Ministry Studies from St. Meinrad School of Theology and the Center for Ministry Development. I have over 27 years experience in Youth Ministry and Faith Formation including Sacred Heart Parish in Jeffersonville, and Holy Family Parish in New Albany. In addition, I have served as a facilitator for the T.E.A.M. Building Course at Mount St. Francis working with small group facilitation and experiential learning. I continue my learning through additional coursework and workshops on topics like "21st Century Faith Formation", implementing social media in teaching faith formation to today's busy adults. My experiences include directing retreats, leading mission trips, and countless service learning experiences. Over the last 11 years I've been creating and leading prayer services for youth and families in a sudden grief situation. I volunteer at my home parish as a Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist, with "In Heaven's Eyes" outreach ministry, a Production Director of the Holy Family Theater Group, a school volunteer, and VBS leader. In the community I volunteer with Date to Care and the St. Mary's Center. As a pastoral minister I've written a number of faith stories published in the bulletin. They are included in the link at the left. |
