Mary Kohlhaas has been a board member since 2010.  She has been active in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal since her college days at both the College of St. Benedict in Minnesota and Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio. As a Youth Minister for over 30 years, Mary has been involved in all aspects of youth ministry from evangelization and discipleship to sacramental prep and summer missions. She is a strong advocate of relational ministry, believing it to be foundational for all other ministries. As for the power of the Holy Spirit, as found in the Charismatic Renewal, Mary believes it is necessary for one standing firm against the obstacles and attacks on one’s Faith these days. Mary is presently working as the Pastoral Care Coordinator at St. John the Baptist Parish in New Brighton, Minnesota.
