3-8 RE Coordinator and Junior High Youth Minister

My name is Paola and I am thrilled to be St. Julie's religious education coordinator for grades 3-8.

A bit about myself: Ventura County is where I call home, having lived here most of my life.  Being away from home for the first time while in college, I delved into my faith, and for the first time started asking questions and, unsurprisingly, found answers from the Church founded by Christ himself more than 2,000 years ago.  I was no longer simply attending Mass on Sundays but working on my relationship with God. I am a people person, spending time with others fills my cup. You will most likely find me spending time with my family or with my sweet fiancée. I come from a family of 7. Growing up, my parents took my siblings and I to their small native towns in Mexico annually and we absolutely loved it.  The slower-paced lifestyle and authentic Mexican food captivated me and do to this day. I love learning and chatting about all things Catholic. I have a deep desire to share Jesus with others and see how He transforms lives as I have seen Him do with mine.

My saintly friends:

•     St. Padre Pio
•     St. John Paul II
•     Mother Mary
