FAITH FORMATION DIRECTOR: Joyce Franklin
703 356 8419
Joyce comes to us from St. Jude Catholic Church in Fredericksburg, VA. At St. Jude, Joyce was hired to create a Faith Formation program for the new Mission Church of St. Jude, which was established as a canonical parish in 2007. This required her to set up a program for students from kindergarten through high school, as well as develop the RCIA program and adult formation. Prior to going to St. Jude, Joyce worked at Holy Family Parish under many hats. She was Director of Religious Education; Director of Adult Education and Spiritual Enrichment and at one point interim Liturgy Coordinator. This very rich background which Joyce brings to St. Luke makes her a gifted member of our staff.

At this point her discernment led Tiffany to become a consecrated member of Women Youth Apostles which entailed a 1 year sabbatical from employment. She returned to fulltime youth ministry at Saint Louis parish in Alexandria before coming to Saint Luke.
