After a great deal of consultation, meeting and prayer, we have been able to engage a Youth Minister for the Parish beginning October 1. I feel very, very good about this young man and the work he has done elsewhere. He brings considerable talents to the community both in youth group formation and leadership and music ministry for our young folks. So please join me in welcoming Adam Conque to the St. Elizabeth Seton Staff and watch for more information the bulletins in the future. I truly feel this is a great day for Youth Ministry here at St. Elizabeth Seton and look forward to Adam being a vibrant member of our staff. Email adam@setonchurch.org
 YOUTH MINISTRY DATES OF IMPORTANCE
Adam is very excited about the opportunity to serve our parish and has many ideas about the new direction for our youth program.  Adam comments, “There are so many great young adults here that I’ve met that are not only hungry for the Lord, but also eager to share Him with others.”  If you are a high school student in our parish, be on the look out for future announcements about upcoming events. Adam can be reached by email at adam@setonchurch.org
