Tampa: Thank You, Jieo!

By Chioma Okoye, Communications Director, Mary Help of Christians Center, Tampa, FL

(New Rochelle, NY – June 20) – Earlier this month, students from Cristo Rey Tampa Salesian High School and Mary Help of Christians Tampa Parish youth group held a surprise farewell party for Jieo, the Salesian candidate from Canada. Jieo has been at Mary Help of Christians Tampa since September 2021. During his time in Tampa, Jieo has served as a positive role model and friend to many students involved in youth ministry across the Mary Help of Christians Tampa campus.

Jieo will return home to Calgary, AB in Canada for the summer. Then, in the fall, he plans to attend Seton Hall University and begin formal formation with the Salesians in Orange, NJ. We are grateful for the time he has spent in Tampa, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors!
