Linda Davis
YOUTH MINISTRY COORDINATOR
Thirty-three years ago, Msgr. Joseph McGuiness asked if I could help out with the Religious Education program at the Shrine of St. Therese and I said yes but only for two months as I was returning to school to start my Masters in Social Work.
Well, I never left and I am so happy I stayed, as I truly love ministering in the Catholic Church. I completed my Master’s Degree in Pastoral Ministry, along with Advanced Certificates in the RCIA Process, Youth, Young Adult, and Family Ministries. Helping people of all ages seeking the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Reconciliation and Marriage brings me joy. I have fallen in love with Holy Family and have great memories of taking teens to NCYC, Just5 Mission trips, retreats and my absolute favorite part is having the children in Children’s Liturgy of the Word every weekend.
Lynn Cervi
YOUNG ADULT AND FAMILY MINISTRY
My name is Lynn Cervi and I am wife and a mother of three young adults and a mother-in-law. I have a business degree from the University of Southern Colorado (now CSU-Pueblo), and an advanced youth ministry certificate from the Center of Ministry, along with advanced certificate in young adult ministry and family ministry.
However, the most important certificate any of us can have is a Baptism certificate.
Nearly a quarter-century ago, I started in the business office with the Tri-Parish Youth Ministry program. After helping with a few lock-ins and retreats, I knew my passion was to be involved in youth ministry. And I have done just that ever since. Helping youth find their way to strengthening their faith is a passion. I feel fulfilled every time a former youth of mine greets me with a hug or a smile or a note saying that I had some impact on their lives.
