Welcome to the Mater Dei Youth Ministry webpage!  I have been with Mater Dei/ St. Stanislaus for the past 16 years as a faculty member, Parish Youth Minister, and the past 13 years as a classroom aid, substitute,  and Campus Minister for the school community.  As the Campus Minister, it is my goal to provide students in grades 6,7,8 and all families in the Mater Dei community, with meaningful opportunities to grow in their faith through service to those in need.  I look forward to meeting our new Mater Dei students and continue working with the Junior High students in our Youth Ministry activities!!! THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO FOR OTHERS!

Mary, Seat of Wisdom, Teach Us Love
Our theme for the 2022-2023 school year is Mary, Seat of Wisdom, Teach Us Love. The theme comes from an ancient title given to Mary, Sedes Sapientiae. This title was bestowed upon Mary because she held Jesus, the Divine Wisdom, on her lap. Our Blessed Mother is constantly acknowledged as a model of Wisdom and Love. Mary has much to teach us.  As children of God, and Catholic educators, we need to open our hearts and be willing to sit at the feet of Mary to receive the gift of spiritual Wisdom and learn from Mary how to love.
