Hi! I'm Julie. After attending Saint Rita School (class of 2011) and Beaumont High School (Class of 2015), I studied French and Linguistics at West Virginia University. While at Saint Rita School, I was involved in the High School Youth Ministry and participated in fall and spring retreats, Catholic Heart Work Camp, Servants for Christ, Souper Bowl of Caring, Bible Study, and various service opportunities. Participating n the Youth Group helped me to recognize the importance of my faith and motivated me to make her faith a priority in college. While at WVU, I was involved at the Newman Center, attended weekly Bible studies, participated in discipleship, and went on various mission trips and pilgrimages. Eventually, I began attending daily Mass more regularly and participated in a weekly Holy Hour, growing in prayer and developing a more personal relationship with Christ. I took on leadership roles at the Newman Center and in the parish leading retreats, serving as an officer, leading Bible studies and book clubs, and teaching Faith Formation and Confirmation classes. Upon graduating with my Masters, I pursued a Masters in Theology through the Augustine Institute. I married my husband Lorenzo in the spring of 2021and moved back to Cleveland shortly thereafter. I am excited to share the faith with the parish youth and help them realize their identities as beloved sons and daughters of a Father who loves them beyond measure!
