Emma first worked at the Fr. Bernard Youth Center from 2015 to 2018. She returned in 2023 to serve as Ministry Coordinator, organizing workshops and leadership programs for youth and their mentors. Before joining the Center, she was a youth minister at St. Mary’s Catholic Church and had volunteered in youth ministry for over 18 years. She grew up in the Silverton area and now lives in Mount Angel with her husband and four children.
“It is an honor and a privilege to step into the role of Executive Director at the FBYC,” said Emma Seiler. "This organization has positively impacted many lives over the past 20 years. We are on the brink of a bright future. The Youth have so much to offer, and the Catholic Church is alive and well, and we at the youth center look forward to continuing to serve the youth and their mentors throughout the state of Oregon. I look forward to working with the board, staff, and the supporters to strengthen and expand our mission."
