Director of Young Adult Formation

Kurt here, the new Diocesan Director of Young Adult Formation. I'm keen and eager to dive into my work right away to support the young adults in our diocese! I'll be aiming to provide innovative leadership and pastoral care, especially to the young people involved with our camping ministries and on our province's university/post-secondary campuses.

If you are or know of, a young adult in our diocese interested in or in need of such support, please reach out to me at 506-259-3711 and/or kschmidt@diofton.ca. Blessings!
