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 \u2014 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 Casta\u00f1eda<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2624,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-parishwide-news","category-top-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
