Welcome Our New Youth Director!
I
am very pleased to announce that Stacy Carroll has joined the All Saints’
staff as (part-time) EYC Director. No stranger to our faith community or our
youth, Stacy brings numerous talents, contagious enthusiasm and energy,
excellent organizational and communication skills, and deep spiritual
maturity to this position. No doubt she will continue, and build upon, the
positive direction in which our youth program is moving and otherwise
enhance our already outstanding parish staff.
Stacy has had a wealth of educational and life experiences which uniquely
qualify her to serve All Saints’. After graduating of Mississippi State
University, where she majored in communication (with an emphasis on public
relations), Stacy served as volunteer manager of the local Girl Scout
Council and then as public relations manager for a local health care
organization. From 2003 to 2008, she taught science to 7th and 8th graders
at Tupelo Middle School. It was in that position that she first met many
students who were members of All Saints’. Her relationships with our youth
were further expanded and deepened by recent service as an All Saints’ EYC
volunteer.
Stacy is a certified Level I and Level II Catechist and has completed year 2
of the 3 years of formation necessary to be certified as a Level III
Catechist. She also recently completed Session One of the Cooperative
College for Congregational Development; next summer she will be part of the
All Saints’ team which returns to Gray Center to participate in Session Two.
Presently employed as a realtor with a local agency, Stacy is the wife of
Julian, a Naval Reservist presently serving a tour of duty in Afghanistan,
and mother of Annaleise. Among her hobbies are rappelling and ropes work
(she is a certified director, licensed through Boy Scouts of America). I
suspect “On Belay” may be the new mantra of our EYC group!
Please join me in welcoming Stacy!
