Hello, my name is Amanda Pinterpe, and I am the Youth Minister here. I am so excited to be at St. Paul’s and working with such a great and vibrant community.

Before coming here, I worked as a missionary traveling across the country putting on retreats with a program called NET Ministries. There I traveled to 24 states and I ministered to about 10,000 6-12th graders.In 2018 I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a Bachelor’s in English. I have had a heart for ministry for as long as I can remember. In college I volunteered for my local parish’s confirmation and youth programs. I grew up about 30 minutes east of Colorado Springs and have always loved this city.

Some of my favorite things are coffee, hiking, water coloring, hammocking and reading. Some Saints who tend to follow me around are St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Joseph, St. Edith Stein, and St. Faustina. I have a deep love for the Mother Mary and the Eucharist.
