 * Tammy Mansveld **


 * St. Elizabeth Catholic Church **


 * Project Title: ** Pinterest and Private Facebook Pages for the sharing of ideas/information of youth ministers within the Diocese of Beaumont
 * Project Description: ** As a local Youth Minister in a parish I am always looking for ideas for events, fundraisers, prayers, retreats etc. I would like to create a Pinterest site for our local youth ministers to look for ideas and even share things that they have found or tried in their own parishes. I would also like to create a private Facebook page so that the community of youth ministers in our diocese can share information, create discussion regarding current issue, and ask questions on how a parish may have done an event, retreat etc. The sharing of ideas. All of this building an online community between those who work with the teens in our diocese.
