My name is Will Hahn, and I am deeply honored and very excited to be serving as the new Jr. High and High School Coordinator of Religious Education and Youth Minister at St. Augustine and St. Joseph. I am originally from the Hocking Hills area in southeast Ohio, and I am not related to Scott Hahn—unfortunately! I recently moved to the area after meeting my wife, Lauren Borchers, while we were both serving as full-time, two-year missionaries with a Catholic organization called Damascus.

The younger generation is not the Church of tomorrow; they are the Church of today. I believe that a personal encounter and relationship with Jesus are the key to rescuing a generation that has been hurt, confused, and lost. This begins in the family and parish, as our youth must not only learn about Jesus but also learn to have a personal relationship with Him.

I am very excited to work with all of you—parish staff, catechists, and families—to seek and save the lost and to teach our parish youth to live the adventure of the Catholic faith.

Please pray for me as I serve the youth of St. Augustine and St. Joseph.
