I serve young adults, volunteers and in communications at St. John Neumann Catholic Church in Austin, and my job is to spread the Good News about our parish and help parishioners discern how they can best use their gifts and talents to build God's Kingdom here in Westlake! My dream for this parish is that every member would be involved in at least one of our 50+ ministries.
