Greetings and Salutations!
Welcome to my thoughts and observations based on prayer and experience! I have worked for the Catholic Church for over 25 years at both the parish and diocesan level. My work is primarily focused on youth ministry and adolescent catechesis.

I completed my Masters Degree in Theology at Christ the King Seminary (East Aurora, New York) in 2018. My Bachelors Degree in Education Studies is from Empire State College and my Associates Degree in Liberal Arts with focuses on Religious Studies and Education is from Villa Maria College.

My mission is to make disciples as the end of Matthew’s Gospel states and to spread God’s love and message. I hope my observations help you to continue you faith and ministry journey.

My name is Denise Heineman York and I am the proud parent of two amazing children who are now adults. I do not have any grandchildren yet, but I do have two amazing nieces. I currently serve as a parish youth ministry leader in the diocese of Buffalo.
