About our New
Youth Ministry Directors
Oscar Sanchez
My name is Oscar Sanchez, I have been married for 12 years and have three wonderful children. I have been serving the Lord and youth since 2001. I have had the opportunity to work with young people in different places: California, Twin Falls, Mountain Home, Idaho Falls, in different places of mission, and now here at the Cathedral. In 2007 I responded to the Lord's call to enter vocational discernment of religious life. This experience lasted a year and a half in a religious community in Italy, leaving an indelible mark on my life. God gave me the gift to sing and adore him and it has been since 2003 that I have written and recorded some musical productions. My family and I have adopted the missionary spirit because we try to listen to the voice of God and walk in the confidence that every place we go it is the Lord who calls us there. We try to bear witness to his word and what he has done in our lives with our example. I am so excited to share this spirit with the youth here at the Cathedral!
How can I serve you?

Elisa Larson
Coordinator of Junior High Youth Ministry
Coordinator of Edge
Hi, I'm Elisa! I am new to Junior High ministry but feel as though I am well equipped for the mission as I spent the past three years in college ministry after my conversion in 2018. I am 23 and after finishing my degree at Boise State, I was led to let go of my life plan of going to physical therapy school to follow God's call to work for the Church. Because I fell away from my faith in Junior High due to a lack of understanding and personal relationship with Jesus I know how important this time is for young men and women to truly encounter Christ & his Church. I am a joyful individual who loves to inspire your youth to ask questions, dive deeper than they may have thought before, and find the freedom of living for Jesus in the Holy Spirit. I am equally as excited to learn from your youth as I am to lead them (by His grace) to Jesus.
