Angela Arpino

Minister for Children, Youth, & Families

In her capacity as the Children, Youth and Family Minister, Angela Arpino develops programming, curriculum, and spiritual-growth activities that link the teachings of Jesus to family life in our modern-day world.

After working in corporate publishing for many years, Angela felt called to ministry when asked to become the Director of Faith Formation for a church West Haven. There, she led hundreds of children and families in sacramental preparation, faith-growing experiences, and Bible Study.  Later, at a church in Oxford, she led learners of all ages in an intergenerational, family-focused model of faith formation featuring a meal, lessons, and outreach efforts. She has a certificate in Faith Formation from Fordham University and has graduated from the 4-year Catholic Biblical School where she remains an occasional instructor.

Angela and her husband Rob live in West Haven, just a couple of blocks from the beach. She enjoys gardening, practicing yoga, walking their dog Zuzu, and volunteering.
