St. Augustine Parish welcomes Chelsea Torregosa to ministry here in Dundas with a focus on our parish youth. She will be supported by the outgoing youth ministry lead, Julie Makarski and others who’ve been involved in that ministry in recent years. Many thanks to Julie for her outstanding work, and we pray for Chelsea as she takes on the challenges of supporting our young people in their faith in these extraordinary times.

Hi everyone! My name is Chelsea Torregosa, I am in fourth year at McMaster university studying Honours Social Psychology. I aspire to be a counsellor as a career goal but I will see where God takes me. As of right now, He has brought me to St. Augustine’s parish and the wonderful youth ministry here! Youth Ministry has always had a special place in my heart because it was through my childhood parish’s Lifeteen program that set the foundations of my own personal relationship with Jesus Christ. After being a participant I joined the leadership team for their EDGE program from September 2017 to April 2019. I then took a break from Youth Ministry in my second year of university due to school. But I remained an active member of McMaster’s Catholic student group on campus. I am here now and I feel blessed by this opportunity and excited to serve again in Youth Ministry. I have an active mind, a wild spirit, and a love for community. I hope to meet everyone at the parish soon!

This waiver is supplied to us, and is required by, the Archdiocese of Hamilton to ensure the protection and safety of your child. This waiver is an updated form to encompass participation in this new world of online events and meetings.
Please read the entire form (see here) before signing it and returning it back via email to chelseatorregosa@gmail.com. And as outlined in the form, we kindly ask that the form be submitted at the latest on Monday, May 31, 2021 at 7:00pm EST.
