| Permanent deacon, ordained for service at St. Patrick's May 18,
2002. I assist at Mass, preach as needed, and officiate at occasional baptisms. Fun
parish activities include starting/participating in faith-sharing groups, Sunday
coffee shop, and Knights of Columbus. My charitable outreach activities include
facilitating the unemployed persons support group/network, collecting food donations
for soup kitchens in the area (as a volunteer for the Susan Freiburg Memorial Food
Surplus Program), and volunteering with the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Amy Jobin
Pastoral Associate from August 2008, Masters in Theological Studies, Certificate in
Spiritual Direction. I am the Pastoral Associate for Spiritual Enrichment Ministry.
This ministry will focus on providing opportunities for members of the parish to
discern and know their unique call as co-creators with God of our Church and our
world and to recognize the sacred and the holy in our everyday lives. I will be
ministering especially to young adults (aged 20-40) and women and will also minister
in the areas of pastoral care and spiritual direction. I look forward to coming to
know the spiritual needs of the parish community and to work with others to respond
anew and creatively to these needs. |
