It is our great pleasure to introduce Shawn Madden as the new Archbishop’s Delegate for the Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry in the Archdiocese of Seattle.

Shawn comes from Kansas and has years of experience working in the Archdiocese of Kansas City’s Office of Evangelization & Catholic Youth Formation. He has been active with the American Camp Association and has served on their regional board. In addition, he volunteers as a youth minister in his parish in Ottawa, Kansas. A graduate of Benedictine College, Shawn has a Bachelor’s degree in Theology and Youth Ministry.

This is a big move for Shawn and his wife and four children. He will be working part time for his first two months, November and December, 2010, to give him and his family time to look for housing and get settled in the Seattle area.

Rick Fersch will be providing assistance and support to Shawn in his first year as he transitions to his new position and as the Archdiocese transitions to a new Archbishop.

We are fortunate to have him as our new OYYAM Delegate. Please join us in welcoming Shawn to the Archdiocese of Seattle!
