Familiar Faces Join Youth Ministry Team

We are very happy to welcome two familiar faces to our STMA Catholic Youth Ministry team: former Core Teamers Micah Olson (right) and Gabe Thorp are joining the staff as part-time Youth Ministry interns.

• Micah graduated from STMA High School in 2020 and went to North Dakota State University; he started his new role as a youth minister July 1 and also cooks amazing food for Willy McCoy’s in Albertville.
• Gabe starts on August 1; he graduated from STMA in 2018 and has spent the past four years with NET Ministries, based in West Saint Paul, and also works as a sales rep for Catholic sock company Sock Religious.

Please help us welcome Micah and Gabe back to St. Michael!

These two part-time positions replace the full-time position vacated when Zach Zaldivar and his family moved back to Colorado. This approach is more economical for the parishes and enables two young adults who are interested in working in ministry practical and professional experience with one of the best Youth Ministry teams in the state.
