Over the past 17 years, I have been incredibly blessed to serve as your Youth Minister. As I prepare to step away from this ministry, one thing I am most grateful for is the unwavering support Door County has shown our young people.
Because of your prayers, generosity, encouragement, and belief in our youth, countless teenagers have encountered Christ in life-changing ways. From Confirmation retreats and service projects to mission trips and faith formation, your support has helped shape the faith of an entire generation. Thank you for investing in our young people and in me throughout these years. It has truly been an honor to serve this community.
This summer's mission trip was another beautiful example of your generosity at work. Thanks to your support, our students were able to serve others, grow in their faith, and witness God's love in powerful ways.
We would love the opportunity to thank you in person and share how God worked through this year's mission trip. Please join us for our our Mission Trip Thank You Events:
Monday, July 20th at 5pm at St. Joseph
AND/OR
Sunday, July 26th at 4pm at St. Joseph
Our students are excited to share stories, photos, and the impact your support made possible. Different mission trip participants will be present at each event, so feel free to attend whichever works best for you—or join us for both!
We will be serving desserts and fruit at the events!
Thank you for walking alongside our youth ministry for so many years. It has been one of the greatest privileges of my life to serve this parish, and I will always be grateful for the love and support you've shown me and our young people. I would love to see you at one of the events so I can thank you in person.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Sarah Gavin
