LEADERSHIP TEAM

The Leadership Team (or LT for short) does all the behind-the-scenes heavy lifting for our ministry: planning events, organizing room reservations for on-campus Masses, coordinating and training the leaders for our small groups to be the very best they can be, running the social media, and helping Fr. Josh with anything they can! If you see one of these smiling faces around campus, say hello!
