We are so excited to welcome Beth Handeland as our speaker for February's First Friday!

Beth is a proud Catholic wife and mother of three beautiful children. Beth works as the interim liturgy coordinator for St. Pius X Catholic Church in Urbandale. She is passionate about her faith and spends her free time mentoring teens through ministries like Made 4 More and Edge on the middle school level and with SPY, SPX’s high school youth group. Outside of church, school and work activities, Beth enjoys spending time fishing and exploring the great outdoors with her family.

We'll see you on us Friday at St. Pius X Catholic Church! Meal at 6 pm and Adoration at 7 pm.
