Hello, it's lovely to hear from me again! My name is Renee Oania. I’ve been a resident here in Castroville, CA all my life and never left this town. I attended schools in the North Monterey County Unified School District from K-12.  The city is well known for Artichokes! I graduated from California State University, Monterey Bay, with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Telecommunication, Multimedia, and Applied Computing. Currently, I work as a Bank Teller at a small business bank called Monterey County Bank. One of my goals is to contribute articles for Catholic365.com. Hopefully, the articles I have written will be able to encourage others with their faith. I’m very blessed to use my talents. I'm active with my church at Our Lady of Refuge Catholic Church in Castroville, CA. I'm involved to volunteering at the church gift shop, I'm part of the Altar Society, I'm part the Italian Catholic Federation. In addition, I enjoy going to the beach after a long day at work. Spending time with family and friends on holidays or birthdays! May God Bless You!
