Dawn has been the Youth Minister here at St. Francis Xavier for the last 7 years. Prior to taking the position she was a member of the Core team for 6 years and previously helped on a team at another parish in our area.
“The part of this ministry I love most is witnessing the moment that a teen really feels Christ beside them. Sometimes it is at a Life Night, during time in front of the Blessed Sacrament, sometimes on a retreat, but it is always powerful and joyful. Witnessing them get to know our Lord on a personal level is so inspiring”
Our program has something for everyone – hang out nights just getting to know friends, issue nights, and going deeper into Sacred Scripture. No matter where you are in your faith journey the team is ready to walk with you!
