A note from our Director of Youth Ministry and Confirmation Coordinator Rachael Kriger!
Hello everyone! It is a great honor and privilege for me to be the new Director of Youth Ministry at St. Oscar Romero Parish! I am extremely excited to meet everyone and plan on popping in for some Masses next weekend (Sept. 10-11), since I am away for the holiday weekend. Please feel free to say hi!
A little background on me is that I am part of Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish (St. Catherine of Siena Church), am a basketball coach at Our Lady of Fatima in Hopewell and reside in Hopewell. I am the proud of aunt of two sweet, but fierce, little ladies: Mila (pictured) and Nora. I am also a writer for the Beaver County Times.
I can't wait to work and form a relationship with the youth of this parish. Thank you to Fr. Carmen and the clergy team for bringing me on board. I hope to make you all proud!
Peace be with you all! - Rachael Kriger
