Church Leadership Lay Minister Interviews
 

Ida Johns
 
Ida Johns, coordinator of Youth Ministry and Junior High Religious Education at St. John Vianney Parish in Shelby Township, MI
 
I've been in lay ministry for since I've been 23 yrs old and it began in the Maronite diocese. I've been at the Archdiocese of Detroit for the last 18 years. Why am I here? It's because God has directed me here. Never in wildest dreams did I ever think that I would remain in the church, in my profession. My whole life has been orchestrated and directed and I love the direction because it's very much apart of me and it always has been. I grew up very close to the church and a lot of my socialization was in the church and it just was natural progression. I've been working with teenagers way over 20 years now and it's been a real rewarding experience.
