St Vincent de Paul Parish
Meet our Parish FOCUS Missionaries – Seth Monholand and Megan Ferowich
Who are we?
Hi! My name is Megan Ferowich, and I am one of the FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students) missionaries serving the St. Vincent de Paul parish and school community. I am from Tennessee, graduated from Notre Dame in 2016, and have been serving with FOCUS for 8 years. I first served college students at UT-Austin, South Alabama, and Texas Tech for a total of 5 years, then moved to Denver to work at the FOCUS headquarters for a couple of years before transitioning into this role! I am on the far left side of the picture beside the Monholand’s!
Hi! My name is Seth Monholand, and I am serving as the other FOCUS missionary! After graduating from UNC-Greeley, I married my lovely wife, Chelsea, in 2013. Then I served at my alma mater as a campus minister for 4 years. Next I joined FOCUS and served at DePauw University in Indiana for 6 years before moving back to CO last year to serve in this role. Pictured with us are our 3 children, Cecec (in SVdP pre-k), Theo, and Simon.
What do we do?
We are here to serve YOU, the St. Vincent de Paul parish and school community to help lead, form, and equip adults in the faith. We do this through small group bible studies and discipleship. If you desire to build stronger faith community, encounter God in a personal way, or learn about your faith and how to hand it on to your kids, we are here for you! Please feel free to reach out about opportunities to get involved!
Congratulations Father David Hall
One of our SVdP graduates was ordained a priest last weekend. He’ll be joining us for School Mass next week, May 23 at 8:10 am and visiting with our students afterwards. Father Hall was featured in a Archdiocesan video recently – HERE
