As the Youth and Family Coordinator I assist the teachers with preparing, developing and sharing the word of God through different activities.  I develop relationships with the children and parents/guardians with a listening, caring and compassionate spirit. I make phone calls, send emails, texts or cards to ensure communication with the children's families. I work with the Parish Education Committee, and the Pastor to develop, recruit, train, support and encourage a team of leaders and helpers from the congregation and community to serve in the children's ministry.
