Ms. Simone Rizkallah _

______________
Simone is thrilled to be serving the People of God at St. Ambrose parish as Director of Religious Education and Youth Ministry.  Since her youth, Simone has been super passionate about “all things Catholic” (If you want to be a theologian, be interested in everything.  Every human endeavor teaches us about God.) and the New Evangelization of the Catholic Church.

Her professional background includes media relations, radio, theatre, marketing, communications and philanthropy.  Simone received a BA in Marketing Communication from California Lutheran University and an MA in Theological Studies, Systematic Theology, from the Notre Dame Graduate School of Christendom College in Alexandria, VA.  She wishes to follow closely St. Paul’s exhortation to spread the Gospel:  “I handed on to you as of first importance what I myself received.” (1 Corinthians 15:3)
