Hi fellow YM!!

I am a full time (paid) youth minister in Michigan. I have been in youth ministry for 16 years...full time for 12. I am at a parish of approx. 2000 families, with a pk - 12 Catholic School...so my role includes campus ministry responisibilities.

I am always looking for new ideas to keep it fresh...which is why I'm here! I draw from many resources, with youthministryaccess through CMD being a key one right now.

I am currently nursing a broken leg, which is keeping me at my computer more than normal (and driving me crazy!)

Peace,
Kate

Hi everyone; glad I found this group!

I'm eighteen years old, and I've just recently been hired by the Archdiocese of Dubuque as a catechist to teach religious ed to a class of 5th graders. I have this interesting combination of happiness, anxiety, and excitement about it; and love it! I have a good plan, but who knows how much that may change? I've been expanding my prayer life so as to be more susceptible to God's teaching.

I'm also a juggler, illusionist, musician, choirster, mime, and improv actor, so I'm hoping I'll be able to give them something fun, and spiritual... hopefully

Hello,

I am a middle aged Wife and SAH Mom of three young adults (22, 18 & 15)

A million years ago I was an elementary school science teacher

A year ago I decided to help my parish begin a new Teen group by becoming it's leader.

Needless to say it has been an interesting roller coaster ride of success and failure.

I am always looking for ways to improve myself so as to become the best possible Youth Minister that I can be.

My parish has about 800 families; half of them are active. We are in CT, USA.

Thank you for being here and reading this entire post.
