It is my passion to teach children. My academic background includes degrees in Child and Adolescent Development and Education. It is an incredible blessing to combine my passion for teaching with my passion for Christ and my Catholic faith.
I was fully initiated into the Catholic Church on April 7, 2007. My eagerness to deepen my personal relationship with Christ and His guidance has given me the opportunity to now, share my experiences and serve others through ministry.  
As a Pastoral Staff member, I serve the people of St. Joseph Parish and the community of children and families. It is my hope that through prayer and the support of Parish staff, catechists, and volunteers that we may provide a welcoming, inclusive community that promotes life-long Faith Formation and demonstrates the immense love that Christ has for all of His children.
Peace,
Summer Pongetti
