“I’m excited to contribute to the good work that’s happening in the Saint Meinrad Young Adult Initiative. I am constantly in awe of the vibrancy, authenticity, vulnerability, and holiness of the young Church. There is a deep desire to know Christ, a deep desire to belong. I am grateful for the opportunity to accompany parishes as they learn new ways to minister to their people.”

Johnny will serve as the program manager for the Young Adult Initiative, responsible for the day-to-day operations at Saint Meinrad Archabbey. Johnny has a background in teaching and has worked in various Catholic organizations over the years. He is a husband and father of two adorable boys!

“I feel like I have always had a strong calling to not only be a part of, but also help to create and facilitate the growth of a strong Catholic faith community. As a husband and father, I have a desire to help create a transformational community so that other young adults and families have a place to learn and grow in their faith as well.”
