Randy Jordan has been active in retreat ministry and religious education in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston (TX) since 1991 -- and loving every minute of it!  A state-certified educator, diocese-trained catechist, former parish Youth Minister and Religious Ed/Confirmation Coordinator, he has had the pleasure of leading retreats for numerous parish youth groups, sacrament candidates, altar servers, catechists, retreat teams, LIFETEEN groups and Core Teams, Catholic schools and many other diverse groups around our Archdiocese and across the Country.  He believes that God has given us all a command to "...go forth and make disciples of all nations...."  Ministry to young people and education has been his answer to that call.

Randy is writing and leading retreats whenever possible and working hard with Gordie and Brick to make Cleopas & Company a light to the world!
