Young Adult Ministry

Our goal is to help you to encounter the Lord, Jesus Christ, and His unfailing love through community, friendship, prayer, and sacraments and to provide a safe space for you to journey with others in your quest for sainthood.

Hi! I'm Flor De Liz, a lover of the True, the Good and the Beautiful. I was born in the Dominican Republic and raised in NYC and PA. I became a baptized Catholic her freshman year of college, where I studied theatre, and have been fortunate enough to make my childhood dream of working as an actress a reality for the past decade. I experienced a deeper conversion 5 years ago while performing at the National Theatre in London. Tea, scones and awesome shows? That was expected. Falling in love with Jesus in a crazy life-changing way? That was not. Now I'm seeking the Lord's will here in Florida, and excited to journey with you all as we pray, serve and grow together.

Hi, my name is Jennifer Huertas I'm from San Jose Costa Rica. For many years I was involved in youth ministry, and now I'm super excited to start working on young adult ministry. Hopefully to inspire and build friendships that may last a very long time.

Hi, my name is Danielle. I am originally from NJ, but relocated to Florida a little over two years ago. I was baptized when I was a baby and have thoroughly enjoyed growing up in the Catholic faith. While in NJ, I was an active member of my parish and participated in several ministries, including, choir, youth group, alter serving, and Eucharist Minister.

Although I’m new to Prince of Peace, I’m so elated to become a member of the church and an active member within this ministry. I look forward to meeting and getting to know all of you. I hope that we can be an encouragement to each other as we continue in our never-ending journey learning about God’s love, mercy, and grace.

My name is Marlena Tolland. I was born and raised here in Ormond Beach, and have been lucky enough to call Prince of Peace my home parish since 5th grade. Growing up I was always active in the church, where I alter served for 9 years. While I grew up a practicing Catholic, my faith journey wasn’t always perfect. I felt myself stray from God as I studied child development at Florida State University. The beauty in this is that God never abandoned me. His love for me never wavered, as he patiently led me back to him. Following graduation, I moved to Nashville, TN, where I pursued certification to become a child life specialist. Although I have accomplished my dream and moved back to Florida, TN will always have a special place in my heart. It is the place where I really grew strong in my faith and found a whole new level of love for God. I saw his love in the children I nannied for, and each and every child I worked with in the hospital. It was through working with these sweet kiddos that I was able to reconnect with my faith like never before. Being back in Ormond, I am happy to be continuing my faith journey as a member of Prince of Peace’s Young Adult Ministry, as I follow God’s lead to wherever he needs me next.

Favorite Bible verse: “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

Hello! I am in my late twenties and currently working off my purgatory time to serve you! I am husband to a beautiful wife and father to two blessings from the Lord. We live right here in Daytona Beach, just 15 minutes from Prince of Peace. I grew up atheist, not believing in much past the present moment. I encountered the Lord through friendship, community, prayer and the sacraments and converted to Catholicism in high school. Since then, I have been trying to reach out to others to let them know of the amazing love, mercy, peace and new hope that Christ offers to each person and each prodigal son.
