Celebrating the Achievements of Our Outgoing Board Directors

Thank You Directors!

Dear NFCYM Community,

As we begin the new fiscal year, I want to extend our deepest gratitude to the four dedicated directors who completed their terms on the NFCYM Board of Directors on June 30, 2024.
Directors Edgardo Juarez, Cheryl Cattledge, Paul Jarzembowski, and William Kilmon have steadfastly dedicated themselves to NFCYM. Throughout their tenure, we have navigated challenges, seized new opportunities, and grown our community.

Edgardo shared the perspective of diocesan leaders and served as a member of the finance committee. Cheryl joined the board as an at-large representative and helped to provide insight from her experience as both an associate member and her involvement in Catholic education. Paul served as our liaison to the USCCB and helped build bridges of mission with numerous other organizations. William brought valuable insight from his experience in the law profession and served as the Vice Chair of the board.

On behalf of the entire NFCYM community, I want to express our profound appreciation for each director’s sacrifice and service. Your vision and leadership have laid a strong foundation for our future success.

We are deeply grateful for your service and dedication to the mission of NFCYM.
With heartfelt thanks,

– Christina Lamas, NFCYM Executive Director

"NFCYM has accompanied me in reaching out to like minded professionals to better provide service (ministry) to adolescents. NFCYM has allowed me to network and grow professionally.

'Youth as Protagonists' has been essential to Pastoral Juvenil Hispana in the Diocese of Austin."

"The various resources have helped me keep our program exciting and vibrant. NFCYM has provided me with shared information via webinars, workshops, conferences, outreach, and opportunities that are very informative to help make my ministry successful.

NFCYM is an open forum for me to seek material, guidance and support in keeping the youth ministry program successful."
