Youth is our future/initial meeting - Isabel

Hey Pat,

Thanks for hosting us today. It was a good prelim meeting. Things are usually 'hazy' at the beginning... but God will lead us through.

Sorry I had to leave early. I'll let you host me again for lunch some other day. :) ha ha.

Hi Patrick,

What a great list! I think it'll be more than a starting point. I can't think of anything else to add but I will pray for you all at the meeting today.

Steve

Hi Tony,

Here are my thoughts and ideas for potential qualifications of a full
time youth minister:

Possible Qualifications:
- Baccalaureate degree and divinity degree (desirable)
- X number of years with Catholic youth ministry (at least a few) (desirable)
- Understanding and passion for Chinese American Catholic youth
- Ability to disciple, teach (Bible, CM, training), and evangelize
- Ability to counsel young people well
- Ability to creatively develop programs for youth to young adults
(YAG is desirable)
- an ideal candidate would have beliefs consistent with the Vatican's teachings
- Certified catechist (or one of the more advanced certifications)
- Solid home family life (does not necessarily need to be married, but
would be ideal)
- Would be able to interact well with various members of the community
- Trilingual (Cantonese, Mandarin, English) (preferred)
- Ability to oversee and lead a team of volunteers - emotional and
spiritual well-being (that would be us)

Responsibilities:
- Oversee youth Mass
- Oversee Watermark
- Oversee YAG (desirable)
- Potentially start a middle school group

Possible Compensation Issues:
1. Basic package (annually)
Base salary $
Housing allowance $
Utilities allowance $

2. Benefits (annually)
Retirement $
Car allowance $
Health insurance $
Social Security allowance $
Books and subscriptions $
Continuing education $

3. Vacation time: weeks per year.

Anyways, those are just my initial thoughts. I know those are some
intense and highly selective qualifications. We'd better start
praying =P

Pat
