We extend a warm welcome to Annie Smith who has enthusiastically accepted the role of Faith Formation Coordinator & Pastoral Leader at Holy Martyrs and Coordinator of POTHE Small Group Ministry. She completed a year of youth ministry training in a program called ACTS 29 located in her home state of Rhode Island. This program focuses on a year of unpaid service to organize and lead prayer meetings, retreats, and community events for the diocese. Annie moved to Maine in 2010 to study at the University of Southern Maine, obtaining her degree in Recreation Therapy to incorporate her desire for cultivating spirituality in the healthcare system. Her favorite things include spoiling her two feisty French bulldogs, playing the piano, jumping in puddles with her 1 ½ year old, swimming in most any body of water, and entertaining family/friends. She looks forward to utilizing her life enrichment background to enhance community and fellowship throughout our parish. Annie is a wonderful addition to our staff and parish!
