Educational Opportunity Internship Helps Student Choose Career Path
riminal justice careers run in Taylor Martin’s family. Her grandfather served New Holland as a policeman, and her aunt Charlie Good is a staff member at Magisterial District 02-3-06, working with Judge Jonathan Heisse. Martin, however, does not believe her family members’ career choices have influenced her. “I just found (criminal justice) fascinating,” said Martin, a member of the Garden Spot High School (GSHS) Class of 2022. In the fall, Martin will follow her dream by majoring in criminal justice at Lancaster Bible College. She credits an internship at Magisterial District 02-3-06 arranged by Jill Hackman, GSHS Pathways to Success career pathways coordinator, with helping her to solidify her future plans. “(Hackman) came into classes and talked about internships and

the great experiences students have,” recalled Martin. When she heard there was an internship at the court close to the high school, Martin was interested. She worked with Hackman to complete an internship application in the spring of 2021, and she was able to begin interning in the fall of that year and continue into the spring of 2022. Spending parts of her days at the office on Main Street in New Holland, Martin filed, pulled cases for the next day’s docket, and processed electronic payments. “When there were hearings, I could sit in,” said Martin, who met police officers and lawyers and learned about their jobs. Heisse arranged for Martin to meet a probation officer, a parole officer, a victim/witness advocate, and a children and youth caseworker. She was able to spend a day shadowing the victim/witness advocate, and she noted an interest in that career path.

Steven Fauser said he was received warmly by the people of the parish. “They welcomed me very quickly,” said Fauser. “As everybody knows, COVID-19 happened and disrupted a lot,” noted Fauser of the pandemic that interruped his first year at the parish. In 2019, when Fauser arrived, Our Lady of Lourdes was celebrating its 100th anniversary with a visit from the Bishop of Harrisburg. In March

Trevor Reed, who oversees the ELANCO Calendar of Events, remembers the status of the website when it was initiated three years ago. “In 2019, it was pretty full,” recalled Reed, who noted that in March of 2020, the calendar came to a standstill when COVID-19 restrictions were announced. “It sat dormant for a while,” said Reed.

Taylor Martin recently completed an internship at Magisterial District 02-3-06.
A Wonderful Church Community 2020, when the shutdown occurred, Fauser was still getting acclimated. “You’re new and wanting to know people, and then you aren’t supposed to congregate,” he recalled, adding that for nearly a year Mass was held in the church social hall so that attendees could be carefully distanced from each other. “That was hard,” said Fauser, who said that May of 2021 marked the movement of the congregation back to the sanctuary and that in September 2021, a picnic was held on the church grounds to welcome everyone back. “We had a few hundred people here. We rented a tent, and there were so many activities,” See Our Lady Of Lourdes pg 4
