We Welcome Our New Director of Religious Education

We are pleased to introduce Amy Castañeda as the new Director of Religious Education at St. John Paul II.

We invite you to learn more about her by reading her message below:

"Hi, my name is Amy Estefani Castañeda and I am so excited to be joining the Saint John Paul II family as your new Director of Religious Education! I was born in Athens, Tx and raised in Gainesville, Ga going to St. Michael Catholic Church. I am passionate about walking alongside people of all ages as they grow closer to Jesus Christ and discover the beauty of His Church. I am a mother to 3 children under 10. I have loved watching them grow in their faith, and I am excited to watch this parish grow in theirs as well. I cannot wait to get to know each and every one of you! My vision for Faith Formation at Saint John Paul II is simple — I want every person, at every age, to know Jesus Christ personally and to fall deeper in love with the Catholic faith. I am here to walk that journey with you and your family every step of the way. Please feel free to stop me when you see me!" - Blessings, Amy Castañeda
