Director of LifeTeen ~ Youth Minister: Matthew Marquet
Director of EDGE ~ 6-8: Monét Souza
Monét grew up in Massachusetts with her parents, John and Monique, and younger brother, Michael, in a Catholic home. From a very young age, the faith was implemented, morals were enforced, and she was taught how to stick up for herself. Without this foundation provided by her parents, Monét would not be where she is today. Monét struggled a lot in her high school years trying to find friends who truly lived an authentic Catholic faith, it became a lot more difficult to find a community of Catholics that would attend Mass with her. These years were quite a journey but Monét remained steadfast in her faith, she was not ashamed of who she was, and stood up for what she believed in. There are too many young men and women who are not confident enough to do the same or are not encouraged to live out their faith. Monét is striving to help others in junior high school, high school and college by providing them with helpful tools to help them when they are faced with obstacles or temptations in their lives.

This desire has led her to become the Campus Minister at Arlington Catholic High School in Arlington, MA; and ultimately led her to accept the role as St. Mary’s Director of Religious Education. Olivia looks forward to working with the people of St. Mary’s to form young disciples and teach them the richness of our faith.
