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.

About Me: I have been in this church since I was little, and my faith has been growing stronger since the first day. I’ve been a leader for 1 year and I hope I get to learn more about you guys. I wanted to know more about God and I wanted to express how I feel about God himself. I became a leader because it has always been a dream of mine and I wanted to grow my faith and teach other people about God. I really enjoy this program and hope you will too.
