I grew up in Italy and I attended graduate school at Boston University. With an MED degree specialized field teaching Romance Lnaguages, I began a career teaching Latin, French, and Spanish at the high school level.  Raised in a Catholic household, ever since I can remember I was eager to know God and His will for my life. I attended church regularly and participated in many retreats at the Cenacle in Torino Italy and in Boston.  Bringing up three daughters as a widow, I searched for a church where the love of God would be revealed by people encouraging one another to live out the truths found in Scripture.  I found a Congregational church with a partnership with a small village in Guatemala. My knowledge of Spanish inspired me to attend two mission trips to Guatemala with a delegation from that church. To this day I correspond with a family that I met as a head of the educational componet of those mission trips.  God has blessed me with three wonderful "sons" and five precious grandchildren.  


One of my daughters became born again Christian while in college and she inspired me to follow her example.
Six months  ago that same daughter invited me to Elevation Chapel. I was instantly captured by the kindness, warmth, and authenticity of  its members. Pastor Max and his wife DD are deeply caring.
Pastor Max has an amazing ability every week to convey the message from Scripture in a conversational style  that keeps me inspired  and energized to love God with all my heart.
I can say that I I have found a spiritual home at last.
