Mission Statement
Holy Rosary Youth Ministry Program aims to walk with each unique young person on their faith journey through the relational methods of accompaniment and discipleship. Young people in today's generation face many challenges and struggles but we believe a young person thrives and discovers their identity in the context of a loving community. Check out the 2020 - 2021 Youth Ministry Team below! 


Adult Volunteer Team 
Called to Accompany!

Do you have a heart for young people? Do you recognize how much our young people need God's love and presence? Then God might be calling you to join our adult volunteer team. Volunteer responsibilities can include leading confirmation small groups, discipling our peer ministry team, assisting with office work, joining our COVID-19 safety team, or helping with hospitality at youth events! 


Youth Confirmation 
Discovering Your Purpose!

Are you a baptized 7th - 12th grader who has not received the sacrament of Confirmation yet? Then we invite you to register for our 2020 - 2021 Youth Confirmation Program! Holy Rosary's Youth Confirmation program is a place for a young person to learn and understand their identity as a disciple of Jesus Christ and to be filled with the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Youth Minister 
Bridget Bicek

I'm originally from the Chicago area and moved to Seattle to pursue my
M.A. in Counseling Psychology at The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology.
I am so grateful to join the Holy Rosary Staff in serving, loving, and accompanying 
our middle school and high school students and their families on their faith journey!

In my free time, I play guitar and ukulele, sing musicals loudly with my friends,
hike in the land of Washington, meditate on scripture, pray the rosary,
and snap photos of my beautiful friends!  

2020 - 2021 Adult Volunteers 
Andrew McDonough 

Andrew has been a member of Holy Rosary Parish with his wife (Lauren)
and son (Patrick, age 3) since relocating to Seattle from Madison, WI in August 2019.
He has fond memories of going through the confirmation program at his parish growing up, in particular deepening his understanding of the Catholic Faith and learning more about his confirmation saint, Francis Xavier. Andrew is a management consultant at Point B, and in his free time enjoys golfing, hiking, running, spending time at Alki Beach, and cheering on his beloved Fighting Irish during football season.


David Nguyen

I'm excited to be a small group leader for Holy Rosary's confirmation class.
I became a confirmed Catholic 8 years ago. I am from San Francisco
but now happy to call Seattle home. I like to work out, watch movies, travel,
and learn more about God through the Bible.


Don Stoll

 

Don and his family are Holy Rosary Parishioners since 2004. His children, Brendan and Elena, both are alumni of Holy Rosary school.  Both received the sacrament of confirmation throug Holy Rosary. This is Don’s second year as an adult leader in the youth confirmation program.

Irene Merz

 

I have been attending our beautiful Holy Rosary Church since 1993 when I first moved to Seattle from Hong Kong.  My husband and I were raised Catholic, so all our three boys were baptized at Holy Rosary Church and they also graduated from Holy Rosary School.  My Catholic faith is very important to me and I like all the traditions of our Catholic Church and practice all the Catholic teachings. I love traveling and the Holy Land is at the top of my bucket list!

Jeanne Flohr

Jeanne Flohr teaches part time at St. Bernadette School in Burien, volunteers with St. James Youth Music Program, is the Holy Rosary CYO coordinator, and sometimes subs at Holy Rosary School. She has worked 28 years in Catholic schools and enjoys sharing her knowledge and faith with others, especially students. Teamwork, appreciation and care of our natural surroundings, and the importance of personal growth in an atmosphere of freedom are important qualities to share with others. Jeanne is blessed to serve on the Youth Ministry team where she gets to build relationships with HR students outside of the classroom setting. Jeanne enjoys spending time on and in Puget Sound with her family and friends when not reading or cooking.


Lillian Nguyen

I’m originally from San Francisco and moved to Seattle 4 years ago. I enjoy music, watching Korean dramas (with English subtitles, of course), trying out different kinds of foods, sharing God’s Word, and helping students grow in and live out their faith. I usually like to end my day reading, mostly scriptures and Catholic religious books.


Marie Boland

Marie Boland, second year as a youth confirmation small group leader here. Followed the lead of a friend from Michigan in moving to Seattle, and we rent an apartment off of Alki together and love it!  I rescued two brown-and-white dogs who have been great company during work from home! Ask me anything about my Catholic faith journey! I love the Lord and am happy I get to share Him!


Tyler Didier


I am 23 years old, a recent grad from University of Wisconsin-Madison. I got married in July to my wife Amelia. I love the art of coffee, ceramics, and guitar.
