PREP News & Events

Everyone has a faith story whether you have witnessed it in your life yet or not. We all have one. I know this because through the power of the Holy Spirit, my faith story has led me to this moment in time. On July 12, 2022, I offically became the Director of Youth Faith Formation for our wonderful parish. This position combines the DRE and the Youth Minister positions. In my opinion, it is a vision that works for our parish needs. I am excited but ultimately, I feel blessed to be in such a position, and to work with all the youth of our parish spreading the mission of Christ in both word and deed.  I am passionate in the Sacred Traditions and Sacred Scripture that are the pillers of Christ's  Church. The children are the future of the Church Universal.

I look forward to meeting everyone in the months ahead.  You can expect to see me around our beautiful campus and in the children's classrooms quite a bit. I encourage you to volunteer or join a ministry that will help you on your journey to your faith story.  My doors are always open, please feel free to reach out with ideas and questions for both PREP and Youth Ministy.  My email is Lbull@mmredeemer.org. 

God Bless You!
Mrs. Lisa Bull
