DESCRIPTION
The Director of Youth Ministry leads the formation and evangelization of teens in grades 7 through 12, providing opportunities for them to strengthen their relationships with each other, their families, the Catholic Church, and especially Jesus Christ. The Director will prepare our 7th and 8th graders for Confirmation, and well as plan and run other youth events, such as retreats, bible studies, service opportunities, and social gatherings. The desired candidate will be prayerful and dedicated to a deep personal relationship with Jesus Christ. They will be able to collaborate well with parish staff and volunteers, model faithful Catholic living for the youth, and form a relational ministry which supports and encourages teens on their own journey with Christ. Formal theological training a plus, but not required.
St. Gall is a growing parish of moderate size in the far-western suburbs of Chicago, and part of the Diocese of Rockford in Illinois. The parish dates to 1870, and moved into a brand, new Church and office/meeting facility just six years ago. There is a wonderful mix within the parish of long-time residents and farmers, as well as young families and professionals, and everyone in between. The parish has a reputation for being very welcoming and friendly and orthodox. The current pastor arrived three years ago and has been ordained for 28 years. He is originally from the area and is very familiar with the history of the parish, the culture of the community, and the exciting growth that is currently occurring in the area and the parish.
HOW TO APPLY
Please send your resume and cover letter to the pastor, Fr. Max Striedl, via his email or the parish mailing address.
