Aloha, Johnny—God Bless
You!
Parish of Transfiguration Catholic Church,
It is with a heavy heart that I must let all of you know that
I will no longer be the youth minister of this parish. God
has called me to a new direction in my career as youth
minister of St. John Neumann parish.
I want to first say thank you for an incredible opportunity
to be a part of this parish and welcoming my wife and I
with open arms. I have learned a great amount of what it
means to be a Christian from this community in only a
small amount of time. The care that y’all have for one another and this little part of South Carolina is an
example of what the Church should look like. Thank you for the support you have given me as youth
minister of this parish and giving me the ability to hang out and be a part of the lives of the youth. It has
truly been a blessing.
To those who helped/volunteered with any youth related
event I owe y’all an immense amount of gratitude. From
waking up early to staying up late, y’all have been willing
and able to help me reach the kids. Without the volunteers I
would not have been able to do this job. Thank you parents
who also helped out with volunteering to bring food on
Sunday nights. They were delicious and the high school
youth would agree!
I want to now thank the high school and middle school youth
of this parish. I want to thank them for being willing to have
me be their youth minister. I want to thank them for making me feel welcome and part of this youth group.
My one message I want to leave with them is that they are children of God and I hope they never forget that.
I also hope they can also be just as welcoming to the next youth minister too!
I want to thank Fr. Trapp for giving me this opportunity at
this parish to be a witness of God’s plan with the youth of
this parish. Thank you Msgr. LeBlanc for also supporting
me during your transition to the parish. I want to thank
Valerie, parish secretary, for all the help she has been to
me. I want to thank the office volunteers for their
welcoming personalities and their encouragement.
Although I am leaving this parish I know that God has an
incredible plan for this Church and I will always know I
have friends at Transfiguration Catholic Church.
God Bless,
Johnny Sanchez

Meet Our New Youth Minister!
Hello everyone! My name is Mary Beth Vernau and I am both humbled and thrilled to be your new youth minister at Transfiguration! It's going to be a wonderful year ahead and I very much look forward to getting to know each of you as we journey together towards Heaven. :)
So, a little about me: I am a native of Irmo, SC and the oldest of four in a passionately Catholic homeschooling family. Growing up I was an active member of Our Lady of the Lake in Chapin, and participated in all of our diocesan youth events, even serving a year on our Diocesan Youth Evangelization Team (aka The E-Team) my junior year of high school! Youth ministry has always been something that brings me a ton of joy and from the beginning of high school it was something I felt called to full time. After graduation I attended Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio to study Catechetics (religious education) and Theology with a concentration in Youth Ministry. And since receiving my bachelor's degree I've spent my first year of post grad life as a missionary with our very own Diocesan Missionary Team (DMT)! It was through this program that I was able to meet your 9th Grade Confirmation Class back in April when my team led their Confirmation retreat! Little did I know that just a few months later I'd have the honor of working alongside you all full time! God sure has a sense of humor. :)
Outside of ministry, I enjoy so many things - most especially music, traveling, movies, the beach, thrifting and art! You'll usually find me nose deep in some new crafting project, a good film or on an adventure with friends discovering a new restaurant or place to explore. There's so much I hope to share with you all and so much I still hope to learn from each of you! Together I know we can build a truly dynamic youth ministry program here at Transfiguration and personally I'm ecstatic to tackle this with you all. So I'd like to invite you to join me in this adventure, whether you're a regular at youth group or never given it a try - all are welcome and all of you will play a role in making this something special. God has a lot up His sleeve for us this year, so I truly hope you will join me as we see where He takes us!
Transfiguration Summer Mission Study
July 27-29
Living Your Catholic Faith in a Relativistic World
What is “right” and “wrong”? Is what’s right for you right for me? Is
there a right and wrong for everyone, all the time?
These are difficult questions to discuss in our culture. We live in a
society that supports the opinion that each person should make up his
or her own morality—that there is no moral truth that applies to
everyone. Many of us have been affected by the relativistic outlook
that pervades the modern world. Maybe some of us wonder whether
there really is an absolute right and wrong for everyone. Or maybe we
accept that there is a moral standard for all, but we don’t know how to
explain our moral convictions in a convincing way. Maybe some of us
are afraid of saying something is immoral because we’re afraid of
offending others or of being labeled intolerant. How do we talk about
morality in a relativistic world?
In this small group study program featuring Edward Sri, we'll explore
the classical view of morality and find that it’s not merely a set of
guiding principles for theoretical situations—it is an entire way of life.
This study will be held on Thursday evening, July 27, 6:30 pm – 9 pm,
Friday evening, 6 pm – 9 pm, and Saturday, 8 am – 3 pm. Food will be
served at all of the sessions. Babysitting will be arranged it needed.
Please contact the office if you require babysitting so that we can
have volunteers available.

A Prayer for Freedom—Heavenly Father, you have given us the gifts of life and liberty and entrust to your people
the duty to guard these gifts wherever they are threatened. Help us to protect the freedom of all to follow the Gospel
of your Son, Jesus Christ, and to bring his light and truth to the ends of the earth. Guide all who play a role in
enacting legislation to uphold the freedom of conscience of all citizens. Send us your Spirit to inspire in us the
wisdom and courage needed to witness to the truth and to stand up for all whose religious liberty is endangered. We
ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen. Mary Immaculate, Patroness of our country, pray for us.
