MELODY GROGAN 

Melody was born and raised in a small farming community in  Oklahoma.  After practicing as a nurse and paramedic for several years, she joined the Army in 1989, where she eventually met her  husband, Stewart.  They have been married for 30 years and their  family has grown to include four children, their spouses and five  grandchildren.  Melody started serving in youth ministry in 2005,  since their move to the Diocese of Pensacola Tallahassee in 2006.  She has served not only as a youth minister but also as the  Assistant to the Director of Youth Ministry, helping to organize and  implement youth events such as Youth Conference, Campout, Youth Council and other Diocesan events. Some youth may even recognize Melody from this past Antioch where she assisted in putting it all together. Melody is thrilled to join the staff of St. Rose of Lima, and looks forward to meeting and getting to know our parishioners and most especially our youth!
