Meet Taylor
Experienced Youth Minister, Wife, Mother, Disciple of Christ
I was raised in a Catholic family who taught me the habit and tradition of prayer and the faith. It was when I started attending youth group in high school, that my heart was set on fire for the Lord. Ever since, I have sought more knowledge to keep that fire alive and feel compelled to share that with others.
​
I attended Franciscan and studied Theology and Catechetics, absorbing all I could from church documents, the catechism and the excellent professors. After graduation I was hired for my dream job as Director of Youth Ministry. I loved every minute of leading teens closer to Christ. Meeting them where they were, walking with them on their journey, and filling their heads and heart with truth.
​
Some of my favorite moments from ministry were giving talks on retreats, or to small groups of teens or parents. Watching the hearts of those I have served be transformed by Christ's love is incredibly fulfilling work.
My life as a youth minister turned stay at home mom is a full and happy one. My husband Colin grew up Catholic as well, and is a true partner in our mission to bring these little souls closer to God. Mae (6) Adelaide (4) and Desmond (7mo) have been a constant example of God's love and goodness. It's been a joy to be empowered by Christ to grow in holiness in my vocation and it has brought a deeper sense of the importance of our faith to my life.
​
Public speaking has been a passion of mine since my first assignment in the fourth grade to present a speech on Hawaii. After rigorous training by my Dad, I didn't even need note cards to tell my class about the 'Aloha State'.
Nothing gets me more excited than to teach others about Christ, his Church, and how our rich faith can transform our ordinary lives into extraordinary witnesses to God's Love.
My speaking style is rooted in catechetics, formed by a goal to evangelize, tied together with scripture, full of personal anecdotes, and passionately delivered with enthusiasm.
