* Has a deep, rich Christian faith & a passion for working with children & youth.
* Is committed to creating safe, inclusive spaces where “All are welcome”.
* Can manage volunteers effectively and build strong relationships with families.
* Is ready to work collaboratively within both a parish and school setting.
