maria Galeota dIRECTOR OF yOUTH mINISTRY
I am very excited for the opportunity to be the new Director of Youth Ministry at Saint Catherine of Siena Parish. I feel there may have been some divine intervention in my getting this role as it combines my love for my faith and my experience as a teacher. I am eager to share the experiences that have shaped me, including my travels to the Vatican and other sacred sites while I studied abroad in Italy. In addition, I am thrilled to be able to cook with the JHYM -especially Italian cuisine - which is one of my favorite pastimes. I am honored to be able to work with our teens, nurturing their faith, building meaningful relationships, and fostering a welcoming and peaceful environment for all.
