I grew up in Joelton, Tennessee and am the seventh of thirteen children born to Andrew and Joan Catignani. I am a graduate of St. Pius X grade school and Joelton High School.
I went to work directly after high school with The United Methodist Publishing House. I started out as a clerk in the General Accounting Office and 15 years later I was promoted to Audit Associate in the Audit Services Department where I ended my career after 45 years of service.
I have been a part of St. Pius X Parish for many years. I worked for several years part time doing janitorial services. In 2001, I married my late husband, David Calvo, then Maintenance Supervisor at St. Pius X School, and became the stepmother to his six children, all of whom attended St. Pius X School. Now they are all grown with families of their own which has blessed us with eleven grandchildren. This makes for a very happy “Nani.”
After becoming a member of St. Pius X Parish, I also became a member of the St. Pius X Women’s Club and am now the President. I am a member of the Finance Committee and recently joined the church staff as part time Office Manager.
