My name is Jared Vandeway, and I'm proud to be serving the Diocese of Spokane as the Northside Youth Ministry Coordinator. I'm a convert to the faith and received the sacraments of baptism, confirmation, and first communion on Easter Vigil 2022. Entering into the Catholic family of faith is the greatest, most fulfilling achievement of my young adult life. With that being said, I decided to venture out to Spokane from my hometown parish in western Washington to preach the Holy Gospel to all who will listen. My goal in this ministry is to develop companionship with our Catholic youth, and encourage comradery amongst each other. Additionally, I hope to instill into them an impenetrable faith and prayer life to bring with them into young adulthood.
