Congratulations Justin Jackson

Justin has been recognized by the national magazine, CATECHIST , as one of the finalists for Catechist Honors, an award given to gifted catechists who demonstrate the importance of passing on the faith. The top 10 finalists were highlighted in the January 2019 issue of CATECHIST Magazine and will be awarded a certificate and a $100 gift card from Bayard Faith Resources. He was nominated by Julie Bailey. The following is Justin’s bio: Justin began as a catechist while still in high school, and he soon proved his ability to lead youngsters in faith with a contagious energy and passion for Jesus. A few years later, Justin asked to take on a second section of the sixth grade. He has held this dual role for 12 years, consistently integrating the prescribed curriculum (Pflaum Gospel Weeklies, the Holy Bible, and the Catechism) with his own teacher-made materials to create a faith-filled, fun, and sought-after catechetical model that continues to inspire other catechists. Justin has successfully directed Vacation Bible School for nine years. This year he has organized activities and lessons for 103 children, plus trained 52 teen volunteers and 20 adults. VBS directors from different churches in our area visit our VBS e3ach year to “see what Mr. Jackson has created this year.” Because of his generous nature and desire to spread the good news, Justin eagerly shares his ideas with this large, ecumenical group. Justin has encouraged countless youths and teens in their own faith journeys. He selflessly leads others to Christ. Justin, what inspires you most about serving in this way? Seeing children light up and see their faith as relevant, fun, and necessary keeps me going and makes the countless hours spent preparing worth it. When students explain to their parents the Bible truths learned at VBS or in class, and then in turn those parents share this with me, I see how truly important our work as a catechist is. We are life-changers. What spiritual practices are helpful to you? Daily prayer and fellowship are important spiritual practices for me. Connecting with others with faith as the backbone has made my relationships with others stronger, and in turn, my faith as well. Who has been a positive influence in your faith? My family and the leadership at St. John’s have impacted my faith and desire to teach the faith. I attended a Catholic elementary school with great teacher models of faith, and now as an adult, I continue to work with amazing models of faith at St. John’s.

Social Ministry wishes to express a sincere Thank You for the generous response to our parish Giving Tree. You put smiles on the children’s faces of 9 migrant families. And the House of Mercy will distribute your gifts to the needy families that rely on them for assistance.
