The mentorship journey

Someone to walk beside you.

A relationship built on listening, shared experience, and a commitment to growing in Christ.

Three pillars of mentorship

Support for faith and everyday life.

Every person brings different questions, gifts, and hopes. These three pillars help shape the conversations we share.

Rooted in faith

Spiritual support

Bring your questions, learn from someone’s lived faith, and find encouragement to connect prayer, worship, and everyday life.

Purpose in everyday life

Professional guidance

Explore education, career decisions, and professional growth with someone who understands the value of living your faith at work.

Connected in community

A place to belong

For catechumens, newcomers, and parishioners, a personal connection can help a large church feel like a family.

Your first steps

Begin with a conversation.

01

Start a conversation

Tell us whether you are looking for a mentor or feel called to become one, and share what you hope to give or receive.

02

Explore the right connection

Discuss your interests with the ministry team. Together, explore a mentoring relationship that supports your faith and goals.

03

Walk and grow together

Build a relationship through listening, encouragement, and shared experience, with Christ at the center.

For mentees

Bring your questions.
Bring yourself.

You do not need to have everything figured out. Share where you are in your journey and what kind of encouragement would be helpful.

Find a Mentor

For mentors

Your experience
can be a gift.

Offer your time, care, and experience to someone in our parish family. Learn about the expectations and preparation for serving as a mentor.

Become a Mentor

Meeting arrangements and pairing are discussed with the ministry team. Mentorship supports your life in the Church; pastoral and sacramental questions belong with your priest.

There is a place for you here

Every meaningful connection begins with a first step.

Whether you are seeking guidance or have experience to share, we would love to walk alongside you.
