Meet MMR's Director of
Youth Faith FormationMrs. lisa bullPope Saint John Paul II believed in the youth of the Church. He often spoke to them and challenged them to step up and be leaders in their communities and the worldwide Church. He also made sure that when he was given the opportunity that the youth knew they were loved and cherished by God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.To quote Pope Saint John Paul II, “Remember that you are never alone, Christ is with you on your journey every day of your lives! He has called you and chosen you to live in the freedom of the children of God. Turn to him in prayer and in love. Ask him to grant you the courage and strength to live in this freedom always. Walk with him who is “the Way, the Truth and the Life”!”
As an educator and now in my new position, I often refer to Pope Saint John Paul II to intercede on my behalf in matters that concern the youth of the Church both locally and universally. I truly believe that through the power of the Holy Spirit and the intercession of Pope Saint John Paul II, I was blessed with this amazing opportunity.My role, Director of Youth Formation, combines two positions within our parish. The first is that of overseeing the PREP program as their administrator and the second is as Minister to Youth. As the Parish MInister to Youth, I am committed to every youth member of our parish. This includes our Preschool members all the way to our recent high school graduates.By use of my creativity, I plan to provide opportunities for our youth spiritually and socially. Our youth have a voice in their faith journey. With the guidance of their families, Confirmation sponsors and parish administration, my goal is to help them on their walk toward Christ.
I strongly encourage our parish youth to continue their mission of spreading the Gospel of Christ by joining one, two or even several of our youth ministries. Please refer to this site or our parish bulletin for information and opportunities. Finally, this is your ministry, if you have any suggestions of activities, clubs, and spiritual opportunities, please feel free to share your ideas with me. Parents and guardians, I would love to hear from you as well.
God Bless our parish youth,
Mrs. Bull
