NRVC members to be youth mentors

NRVC is partnering with the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM) to provide mentors for youths in its "animator program," which takes place this July.

Youth animators at a past NCYC conference.

Eleven NRVC members have been selected to assist with animator training at Marian University in Indianapolis, Indiana. These vocation ministers will provide support and encouragement to young people who will be trained to be “animators” (or leaders) at the large NCYC conference in Indianapolis in November.

Animators are teens who lead prayer, song, and movement from the main stage during the NCYC conference. This new venture of having NRVC members connect with these young ministry leaders is another way to be present to young people and to promote vocations. NRVC members who will be mentors are:
 

• Father Andy McAlpin, O.P.
• Brother Michael Migacz, S.C.
• Father Timothy Armbruster, C.P.P.S.
• Father Paul Henson, O. Carm.
• Sister Belinda Monahan, O.S.B.
• Sister Hannah Vanorny, O.S.B.
• Sister Pat Connolly, D.C.
• Sister Rebecca Tayag, S.S.N.D.
• Sister Mary Beth Bromer, C.S.S.F.
• Sister Laurie Orman, R.S.M.
• Sister Stephanie MacDonald, O.S.B.
