The way that I serve our parish is by providing the spiritual and temporal leadership we need to live out our Catholic faith as the Church desires. I work to ensure that your spiritual needs are met, and that our parish provides good education and formation for all its members, especially our children and youth. All of this takes place on a church campus that I must ensure is taken care of and meets our needs. Here are some specific ways that I can help you.

- Offer Mass

- Provide the Sacrament of Reconciliation

- Give the Anointing of the Sick

- Help you grow in your faith

As the Director of Youth Ministry, I aim to engage the young people of our parish community (middle school and high school aged students) to be living witnesses of Christ. This can be seen through St. Paul’s Youth (SPY) program’s Vision Statement: Love. Live. Encounter. Educate. We must love God, one another, and ourselves. We must live out our Catholic faith with joy. We must look for ways to encounter God and be examples of Christ to those we encounter. In order to talk about God to others, we must know about God and our faith through education.

My faith journey has led me to see the undeniable truth of God’s existence and Christ’s establishment of the Catholic Church. I delved into the faith and fell in love with it, which led me to earn a Master of Arts in Theology with an Apologetics concentration through Holy Apostles College and Seminary in Connecticut. Before I was blessed with my current position, I spent several years volunteering with the youth here at St. Paul’s and at a previous parish. Before I was involved with youth ministry, I taught the faith for 7 years through the OCIA program.

If you interested in helping with the youth please let me know! I’m always looking for volunteers who have a passion about sharing the truth and beauty of Catholicism.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

God bless

Wendy oversees music for liturgies in both Spanish and English at St. Paul’s, as well as giving oversight to our audio and video streaming ministries. She is responsible for ongoing education and opportunities in the parish around music and sacred music, as well as developing new music endeavors that serve our corporate prayer and worship.

I serve as aid to the Pastor, Parochial Vicar and Deacons in scheduling and coordinating Sacramental ceremonies for parishioners. Here are some specific ways I can help you:

- Assist with Sacramental Preparation classes for Baptism, Marriage, First Communion and Confirmation for adults.

As the Director of Digital Evangelization and Communication at St. Paul's, I am passionate about utilizing digital platforms to strengthen the faith and connect the community. With a deep commitment to the mission of the Catholic Church, I lead the church's digital outreach initiatives, creating engaging content that spreads the message of Christ and fosters spiritual growth both online and offline.

In this role, I oversee the church's social media presence, digital communications, website management, bulletin creation, and newsletter distribution ensuring that the messages of hope, love, and faith resonate with all members of the parish. By embracing modern technology, I strive to make the teachings of the Church more accessible and impactful, using digital tools as a bridge to foster connections, build community, and inspire action.

I believe that evangelization today requires meeting people where they are-in both digital outreach and traditional forms of connection. Whether it's through social media, printed materials, a conversation after Mass or a phone call. Through this balanced approach, I am working to bring the light of Christ into every corner of the parish, speaking to the hearts of all individuals-no matter their familiarity with technology.
