A big "Thank you!" goes out to the three youth assistants at the 132nd Synod in Princeton. Alyssa Doubet, Kaitlyn Doubet, and Kiera Dunaway attended the annual meeting of the diocese and help with distributing paperwork and staffing the youth department display table. They also got to see first hand how the legislative process of the diocese works.
At Friday's session, the diocese voted to officially join the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) and began elections for various positions. The girls also attended the evensong service at the Church of the Transfiguration and the annual banquet.
Saturday's session began with morning prayer and Holy Eucharist, where all three girls served in the altar party. The day proceeded with breakfast, then more elections and business items. This was the first year that youth have been invited to assist at Synod, and the girls did a great job representing the youth of the diocese.
About Us

- Katrina is a member of St. Francis Anglican Church, Dunlap. I have been married to my husband Mike for 4 years and we live in Peoria with our dog Macy and our cat Sophie. I have attended church camp since age 7 and haven’t missed a year yet! I was active in Happening and youth group during high school.
Becky is a member of St. Francis Anglican Church Dunlap. I live in Peoria with my two cats, Cider and Avery, and am engaged to Fr. Toby Karlowicz. I have been involved with the youth of the diocese since I attended Happening when I was in 8th grade. I started going to camp when I was in high school, have been a counselor for 9 years and am currently the camp registrar.
We are both humbled and very excited to be serving the youth of the diocese as co-chairs of the Youth Department. Although we both have full time jobs, we feel that God has been calling us to this ministry for quite some time. We hope you will keep us in your prayers and that you will COME TO EVENTS! We think we have some great events planned, but no matter how many great ideas we have or how much planning we do, nothing will be successful unless you, the youth, show up and bring your friends!
