Meet Ann Palamara. Again, appreciate the lengths God has undertaken to bring just the right people to live out the faith here on our Native Soil. Originally from a dairy farm in upstate New York, marvel as Ann shares how the Lord brought her to Eufaula, AL because of its “soil!” Literally, its SOIL! The Lord would get Ann involved in Church ministry quickly upon arriving and would end up serving the youth at her parish for years. She now claims “Eufaula” as her “Native Soil” and her parish as her truest “family” on earth. 

Dig In Further:

1. How can you see the hand of the Lord guiding you in your life? Can you see his guidance in where you live? Where you work? Certain friendships?

2. How can your parish community become more of your “family?” How can you share your gifts and talents and consider with your fellow parishioners how Christ wants to work through you as a family?

3. What obstacles might be present keeping the young people in your parish from engaging in youth ministry? The broader life of the parish? Might there be issues of money, transportation, schedule conflicts, lack of awareness, etc? How might you and your parish overcome those obstacles?
