History/Resume
Active in Youth Ministry since: 2024 (in this position) but I have volunteered in YM years prior.
In current position since: May 2024
About Me: I’m Mary Catherine. I graduated from the University of Mary Washington with a bachelor’s in communications and digital studies in 2024. Prior to college, I was very active in the youth ministry at my home parish at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Lakeridge, Va. During my four years of college on winter and summer breaks I was an intern there and then 2 summers ago I served as a communications intern. While I was there, I helped with various events for the youth, and I found a lot of joy from serving my parish. In college, I was involved in my Catholic Campus Ministry serving as service and advertising leaders as well as leading a women’s bible study. Through the internship at my parish and being involved in my campus ministry, I realized how important it was to me to serve the apostolate. I can’t wait to meet you all and get to work with you.
