“My hope is… (to) help the various youth and young adult ministry groups to “walk together” in the ways of evangelization and thereby create greater regional alignment and parish cooperation in these critical ministry areas. In this way, I hope the Archdiocese can help parents in their task of washing the feet of the young people God entrusted to them.”
