    Saying Yes to Catholic Education with Kyle Pietrantonio

    This Lenten season, we are so grateful to welcome Kyle Pietrantonio, Senior Partner at Partners in Mission, to the show. Kyle's yes is rooted in a deep Catholic upbringing, a providential detour through Classics and Medieval Studies, and a leap of faith that led him straight into the heart of Catholic education.  In this episode, Kyle shares how God's hand guided him to where he is today, why Catholic schools are one of the most powerful vehicles for evangelization in our time, and what it means to truly cast out into the deep in service to our Church. We also get to share something very dear to us here at Paloma & Fig: an exciting leadership opportunity at our very own St. Joseph's Catholic School in beautiful Macon, Georgia. Learn More About St. Joseph's and Macon, GA:  Founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1872, St. Joseph's Catholic School in Macon, Georgia has over 152 years of Catholic educational tradition.
