"In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."  Matthew 5:16 ​​

Victoria (Tori) Perez​
Director, Tri-Parish Youth Group

​Victoria is a region native; she graduated from Valparaiso High School and attended Indiana University in Bloomington where she received her bachelors in Human Biology with a concentration in Human Growth and Development; she also minored in Psychology and Spanish. Victoria was active in her home parish Youth Ministry throughout her middle and high school years. It was there that she learned the importance of not just practicing her faith, but also being involved in her faith. Once enrolled at Indiana University, she became an active member at IU’s Newman Center.
She met many people who encouraged and walked with her in her faith journey at the Newman Center, and eventually led her own small group bible study at IU. She also served as the praise and worship leader for two of the Hoosier Catholic’s Awakening retreats among other leadership roles.

​After graduating, Tori moved home to be closer to her family and to discern what her next step would be. Through God’s incredible timing, she applied for the Youth Ministry Coordinator position for La Porte Catholic Church and has been serving here since August of 2018. Tori has always had a passion for her faith and she thoroughly enjoys spending her days working with the youth of La Porte. When she’s not in La Porte you can probably catch her spending time with her family, crafting, or wandering around Target. Some of her hobbies include spending time in nature, singing, playing piano, and learning about the Saints. If you have any questions feel free to call or email her any time; she’d love to see you at the next Youth Ministry night on Thursday from 6-7:30 at St. Peter’s!
Victoria es una nativa del noroeste Indiana; se graduó de Valparaiso High School y asistió a la Universidad de Indiana en Bloomington, donde recibió su licenciatura en Biología Humana con una concentración en Crecimiento y Desarrollo Humano, también estudió Psicología y Español. Victoria estuvo activa en el pastoral juvenil de su parroquia durante sus años de secundaria y intermedia. Fue allí donde aprendió la importancia de no solo practicar su fe, sino también participar en su fe. De entonces inscrita en la Universidad de Indiana, se convirtió en miembro activo del centro de los estudiantes católicos de IU durante su carrera universitaria. Encontró a muchas personas que la alentaron y caminaron con ella en su viaje de fe en el centro de los estudiantes católicos, y eventualmente dirigió su propio estudio bíblico en grupos pequeños en IU. También se desempeñó como líder de alabanza y adoración en dos de los retiros, entre otros roles de liderazgo.

​Después de graduarse, Victoria se mudó a casa para estar más cerca de su familia y discernir cuál sería su próximo paso. A través del tiempo increíble de Dios, solicitó el puesto de Coordinadora del Ministerio del Pastoral Juventud para la Iglesia Católica La Porte y ha estado sirviendo aquí desde agosto de 2018. Victoria siempre ha tenido una pasión por su fe y disfruta mucho pasar sus días trabajando con los jóvenes de La Porte Cuando no está en La Porte, probablemente puedas verla pasar tiempo con su familia o caminando por Target. Algunos de sus pasatiempos incluyen pasar tiempo en la naturaleza, cantar, tocar el piano y aprender sobre los santos. Si tiene alguna pregunta, no dude en llamarla o enviarle un correo electrónico en cualquier momento; ¡Le encantaría verte en la próxima noche del Pastoral Juvenil el jueves de 6-7: 30 en San Pedro!
