Kelly Vardakas is overjoyed to be serving her home parish of St. John's as the new Director of our Faith Formation Program. She was born and raised in Mahopac, and is still living here with her husband, Ilias of 14 years, and her two daughters, Aristea (9) and Iliana (6). Kelly has been a Director of Religious Education for 16 years. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Catholic Theology and Religious Education from Franciscan University of Steubenville, and her Master's Degree in Dogmatic Theology from St. Joseph's Seminary and College in Dunwoodie. Her hope is to bring the love of Our Lord Jesus to all of the families and children of St. John's. In addition to faith formation classes, she looks forward to facilitating retreats for the parish, offering a moms and tots program, and starting Bible Camp next summer! She looks forward to meeting all of the wonderful families who are part of St. John's Faith Formation and to be a partner with parents in handing on our Catholic Faith to the children of our parish!
