My deepest gratitude to everyone for these wonderful months at Faith Connections. It was a great opportunity to interact with young adults and work in a ministry that is dear to my heart. I hope to remain in touch as I will remain a Faith Connections volunteer. I look forward to seeing you in the near future.

Blessings,
Héctor Acero Ferrer

It has been a blessed year indeed! My son, Liam, is quickly approaching his first birthday and it has been a privilege to spend his first year at home with him.

Now, as a strong extrovert who loves Faith Connections, I’m excited to be back! I am looking forward to connecting with all of you. If you are a young adult looking for resources on your faith journey (volunteer opportunities, a spiritual director, fellowship groups) please do not hesitate to contact me. If you run a young adult ministry and have ideas for collaborating, I look forward to chatting.

See you all soon,
Vanessa Nicholas-Schmidt

It has been an exciting week for Faith Connections! It was with great enthusiasm that we followed the conclave and the election of Pope Francis. We join with the Holy Father in welcoming a renewed focus on the poor, peace and creation as suggested by his name and his recent public appearances. We thought you might be interested in seeing a couple of interviews that our Interim Program Director, Héctor Acero Ferrer (as a Masters student at Regis College) had with CTV News during the conclave and as a part of a panel after the election.
