Mrs. Katie Difiore
Katie Difiore has been a parishioner at St George since 2006. She is a lector, a member of the Legion of Mary, and has taught Faith Formation for several years. She, her husband Jay, and daughter Elaina live in Newnan with their two dogs Augustus and Lola. Originally a cradle Catholic from Rhode Island, she fell away from the faith for a few years, but felt herself called back home and found St George Church. Twenty years later, she feels fortunate to serve God by helping others find their way home to Him as well.
Mr. Cody Ivey
Cody is a Catholic convert who developed a deep love for the Catholic faith through study, prayer, and a journey of discovery into the richness of Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. His passion for Catholic apologetics and the teachings of the early Church has led him to focus on helping others understand why Catholics believe what they believe. Outside of parish life, Cody works in the fire and life-safety industry and enjoys spending time with his son, working with his hands, and continuing to learn about his Catholic faith.
