Why I am a Youth Minister
|
| |
Late in high school,
I had a conversion experience that led me to Christ. All of
a sudden, I met Fr. Jack Peterson who introduced me to Youth
Apostles and I began to feel a true God-given desire to help
young people discover Christ in their lives. I do what I do
because I fully believe God is asking me to do it. And, what
I do is a source of great joy in my life. Lastly, I could
not do what I do without the awesome support of great youth-loving
pastors like Fr. Stewart Culkin and Fr. Bob Cilinski. |
About Me
|
| |
I grew up in NoVA and went to
Oakton H.S. I attended Miami University where I met my wife,
Carole. After college, Carole left for missionary work with
the Salesians for a year while I attended Ringling Brothers
Clown College and proceeded on a 9-month U.S. tour performing
for the Greatest Show on Earth. After our adventures, we married
and now live in the Manassas area with our two children, Maria
and Jack. I thank my grandmother for allowing God to work
through her in her final days so that my heart might be opened
to Him. |
