Meet Your Youth Minister!

Hi everyone! My name is Emileigh Ledgerwood and I am the Director of Youth & Young Adult Ministries here at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Community in Louisville, KY! I have lived in Louisville for the last four years with my family after being in Lexington, KY for almost ten years. I'm married to my husband Nick and I have two wonderful boys, Ryan (5) and Max (1). After receiving my BA in Theatre in 2011, I answered the call God placed on my heart to serve the young people of the Church, pursuing my MA in Religious Education concentrating in Youth and Young Adult Ministry. Since then, I have worked in various capacities that have taken me from Kentucky to Cincinnati to Seattle and back, and has brought me a beautiful understanding of the universality, as well as the unique pockets, of our Catholic faith. I am passionate about helping young people in their faith journeys and discovering how we are made for so much more than we could ever imagine when we trust in God. I love good local food, all things theatre, traveling, running, and a rousing game of Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, Pizza! I am so excited to work with the youth and young adults of the St. Margaret Mary Catholic Community and walk with you as you discover your faith and your relationship with Christ.
