Lisa Vegors on Maternity Leave...
The great news is that Lisa Vegors is due to have another baby boy on May
6th,
Elijah Hayden Vegors! After she has Elijah, Lisa will be
taking a break as Youth Director from May 6th –August 6th. Courtney Nichols, one of our amazing Core Team
members that is graduating from Vanderbilt this May, will be the interim
youth director in Lisa's absence. Courtney is taking her summer break
to stay in Nashville and serve our youth group and church before she heads off
to the Northwest to serve in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps for a year.
Courtney would appreciate any help that the teens, parents, or recent
graduates could offer while Lisa is away. If you have questions or need
to contact Courtney you can reach her via e-mail at:
courtney.p.nichols@vanderbilt.edu
or she will be working in Lisa's office here at the Cathedral after she
leaves, and the phone number is
615-327-2330 ext 307.
Courtney Nichols Interim Youth Director
Courtney is from Trabuco Canyon, California. She is a 2009
Psychology graduate from Vanderbilt University. Two of the passions that
she has discovered during her college career here in Nashville are
serving adolescents and the poor. Courtney has served the youth group as
a volunteer since she was a sophomore at Vanderbilt. She has also been a
leader in the Cathedral “Why Catholic?” study this past year. In the
time she has given to our parish she has gained the trust and respect
not only from the teens in the program but also from some of the staff
here at the Cathedral. We are very lucky to have someone who is so
servant-minded and invested in our parish to stay here and serve as the
interim Youth Director.

co-directed Search, a Catholic high school retreat.
Lisa was a Youth Intern at First United Methodist Church in December
2000 to June 2002. During this time, she led weekly bible studies and
organized week-long retreats to Florida and later became Youth Director
at the church. Lisa lead this group on a mission trip to a Mexican
orphanage and to a Christian music festival in Pennsylvania. Before
joining the Cathedral, she was a Youth Intern at Brentwood United
Methodist Church. There she had experience leading lock-ins, prayer

seminars on prayer at Breakthrough, a retreat attended by several
churches.
Lisa graduated from Vanderbilt Divinity School in May 2004 with a
Masters in Theological Education. Her emphasis was in Pastoral Care in
the Catholic Church. Lisa is married to Josh Vegors. Lisa is not the only
youth ministering the family, her husband Josh is pursuing a certificate

Methodist College, and the Institute for Youth Ministry at Princeton
Theological Seminary while maintaining his position as Youth Director at
Nolensville United Methodist church.
Throughout the year, Lisa will update her database and assemble a
directory of teens participating in the Youth Program, so your prompt
response to this short questionnaire is a must! This will allow the
participants and their parents to provide Lisa with information that
will help her to design a program which will meet the needs of our
teenage parishioners. Please take the time to complete your registration
here online. This is an excellent opportunity for our youth to REJOICE &
REJOIN.
