Meet Our Leaders

Miranda Peraza
Age: 22
School: California State University Los Angeles
About Me: I’m a cradle Catholic meaning my whole life I’ve grown up in the faith. OLHC is my home, and through confirmation I’ve come to know and love God in such a profound way, that only by being a leader (8 yrs) do I feel like I am giving back to Him for all the blessings he has done for me. I knew being a leader would give me the strength to show my love for God without feeling ashamed. Now, I hope to share that same feeling with my fellow leaders, and the youth of my community.
Fav Bible Verse: Romans 5:8 "But God proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us."

About Me: I’ve been part of the Confirmation program for 5 years, 3 of them as a leader. I wanted to be a leader because I enjoy the sense of community that the youth ministry fosters and I wanted to learn more about my faith with other young people. I became a leader to help teens in my community and because I loved the retreats.
