Jeanette is one of the youth ministers. She covers Notre Dame, St. Francis, and Camille in Red Deer. She also covers St. Marguerite in Innisfail and Holy Trinity in Olds.
I've been in youth ministry through Red Deer Catholic Schools for the past 16 years, but I have been involved for over 20 in some form of volunteering at my parish- Our Lady of Peace in Innisfail, and Our Lady of Victory Camp. God Doesn't Call the Qualified, he qualifies the called. God really brought me into youth ministry with a subtle nudge while I volunteered as a choir teacher at St. Marguerite in Innisfail, and it's been an adventure ever since. I am blessed, and I hope and pray for God to continue to guide me in helping students truly feel the love of Jesus in their lives, and not be afraid to follow him.
Fun fact about Jeanette. She married her husband of 22 years. She loves to sing and teaches vocal lessons for Cornerstone Youth Theatre in Red Deer. She has two cats whose names are Parmesan and Pepper.

Hello, my name is Aidan and I am one of your youth ministers. I cover St. Joseph High School, St. Patricks, St. Lorenzo, and St. Thomas in Red Deer. In Blackfalds, I cover St. Gregory.
I have been working in youth ministry for about 10 years. I graduated from Red Deer Catholic in 2016 and am a product of the district's youth ministry programs.
I am passionate about sharing my faith to help students know Jesus and understand our Catholic faith! I also love playing board games, playing video, crocheting, and being outdoors.
I do a little photography on the side. You can check out my work on my Instagram.
