Hi! My name is Jim Murray and I am the Youth Minister and Confirmation Coordinator here at Corpus Christi. I grew up in Stirling NJ and am proud to have grown up in a large Catholic family-I am one of 12 siblings. I went to school K-12 at Koinonia Academy in Plainfield, NJ before graduating high school and moving to Detroit, MI for a year of mission work in the city. That was my first experience in youth ministry, working with the inner city kids and running an after school program and youth group in the city. Ever since, while attending college in Lansing, MI and after moving back to NJ, I have been involved in youth ministry in some capacity, mainly as a volunteer. A couple years ago, I decided to take it on full time and haven't looked back. Through my work, I met a fellow youth minister named Miranda and after dating for about 2 years we got married this past June. I have been very blessed by being able to work at Corpus Christi and the wonderful coworkers, parishioners, parents and teens that make up this parish. My favorite thing about Corpus Christi is the amazing staff that I get to work with each day. They are an awesome and inspiring group of people and I am blessed to be able to work alongside them as we share in the mission of bringing Christ's Joy, Hope and Healing to the people of this parish.
