Mrs. Dominick
Welcome to the Mater Dei Youth Ministry webpage! I have been with Mater Dei/ St. Stanislaus for the past 17 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!

Mater Dei Catholic School
"Love in Action is Service"
Saint Teresa of Calcutta, known as “Mother Teresa,” was an Albanian-born Indian Roman Catholic missionary and nun who devoted her life to helping those most in need. She founded the Missionaries of Charity in India in 1950, and for over 45 years, she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying. Mother Teresa served those who were most vulnerable and made many sacrifices to help others. She devoted her life to serving those in need without judgment.
Saint Teresa of Calcutta once said, “Love in Action is Service.” The Mater Dei Catholic School community will embrace Mother Teresa’s philosophy throughout the 2024 -2025 school year. We will learn more about Mother Teresa’s service to God’s people and strive to follow her example by serving others both within and outside of our school community. By focusing on creating a sense of belonging for all members of the Mater Dei community, we will mirror our hallmarks of Faith, Excellence, Service, and Community.
