In Between
As Georgina Vaca has left our offices to join the staff of Catholic Relief Services, we find ourselves slightly “in between” on our ministry with young adults…

Nonetheless, we are fully engaged in a search for our next collaborator in this ministry and are following through on planning and programming. We will be sending this newsletter out every three weeks during these “in between” times and anticipate that this newsletter will continue this pattern in the future as well.

Celebration of Service
On the evening of July 12, there will be an informal gathering to celebrate Georgina Vaca’s seven years of service to the youngchurch in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. If you want directions, please contact D. Scott Miller.

D. Scott Miller

D. Scott Miller is the dean of Catholic Youth Ministry bloggers which is a polite way of either saying that he is just plain old or has been blogging for a long time (since 2004.)

Scott recently married the lovely Anne and together they have five adult young people and also grandparent three delightful kids (so, maybe he is just plain old!) Scott presently serves at Saint John the Evangelist in Columbia, MD as the director of youth and young adult ministry.

He has previously served on the parish, regional, diocesan, and national levels as well as having taught within a catholic high school. He is one of the founders of RebuildMyChurch and has returned to posting regularly (keeping regular is important to old guys) at ProjectYM.
