Prepared to Love for Ministry Leaders and Educators

Hosted by Cristina D'Averso-Collins

Cristina D'Averso-Collins holds Masters degrees in both Theological Studies and Psychology along with a certification in Life Coaching.  She serves as a college Campus Ministry Director and Diocesan Family Life Director with over 10 years of ministry experience.  This workshop series is the fruit of her experience working with both college students and engaged couples.  Realizing the need for young adults to receive formation for marriage long before engagement, Cristina decided to begin the "Prepared to Love" workshop series which now features separate tracks for young adult singles and ministry leaders/educators.  Following the workshops, individuals are invited to seek one-on-one coaching with Cristina, if desired.  

A workshop designed to equip ministry leaders and teachers with the skills, knowledge, and tools needed to lead effectively and inspire their communities.

  • Are you a ministry leader or educator worried about the current state of young adult relationships?  Are you concerned about whether the young adults you serve will be able to enter healthy marriages one day?  In this workshop, you will be given an overview of young adult attitudes and practices concerning marriage and the Catholic faith.  You will be given tools needed to become an effective witness to the young adults you serve in order for them to develop virtue, build healthy friendships, gain greater self-knowledge and connect with mentors.  Additionally, you will be encouraged to assist parents in effectively forming their children in virtue.  Those who work with teens and pre-teens can particularly benefit, but the course is open to those working with all developmental levels.
