Are you excited about your Catholic faith?  Do you want to share this enthusiasm with the youth – the future of our church?  Our parishes are dynamic communities with a great potential to better reach out and serve our youth.  The South 1 Family of Parishes seeks a full-time Director of Youth and Young Adult Evangelization for St. Michael and St. Gabriel Churches.  This person will be responsible for a parish-based ministry to junior and senior high youth, along with outreach to college-age and young adults in these parishes, in collaboration with the Director of Youth Ministry at St. John Church. We are seeking a person to be active and visible with our students in St. Michael School, and to collaborate with St. Gabriel Consolidated School; to plan events integrating catechesis and service with social, community-building activities. They will foster close communication with families of youth and collaborate with sports teams and scouts, acting as staff liaison to the St. Michael Parish Boosters organization.  The director will continue to develop a ministry to young adults in the area, both those currently attending a university and those who have graduated, building on the progress which has already been made.  Other duties may be assigned as needed by the parish or discerned with the Pastor.  A Bachelor’s degree in Theology, Catechesis/Education, or a related field is preferred.  The applicant will need to be SafeParish compliant before beginning work.
