Family of the Month - The Villella Family

The Villella Family

The Knights of Columbus Council 13139 is proud to announce that the Villella

Family is being honored at St. Peter as The Family of the Month. Mike and

Carol have been cornerstones of our St. Peter Parish community since its

founding. The journey began in 1987 when the Villella’s and several other

families began meeting at the Jupiter Middle School cafeteria. In 1992 they

were integral in opening The Parish Center Hall at the current location of St.

Peter. In 2003, with much dedication and faith, the main church was

completed as we know it today.  

Both Mike and Carol were born and raised in the Providence, Rhode

Island area, and they first met at Bryant University in Smithfield, RI. In 1982,

they moved to Palm Beach County. Their two children, Alexandra and

Christina, were born and raised in faith at St. Peter, and have

received all their Sacraments in our Parish. Both Alexandra and Christina

now both live in the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina.  

Mike, now retired, has primarily worked as a CPA starting his career at the

West Palm Beach office of Ernst & Young and ending his career as the CFO

for the Town of Jupiter.  Mike’s last assignments at the Town were as the

project manager for the recently completed police station and town hall

buildings. Many of you will also know that Carol ran the Women’s Bible Study

and our EDGE program for over 20 years at St. Peter. Today, both Carol and

Mike are extremely active in the Church servings as Eucharistic Minsters at

mass and Mike delivers the Holy Eucharist to patients at Jupiter Medical

Center. Mike has also been a Knight of Columbus for over 30 years. When

they are not busy helping others in our community, Mike and Carol enjoy

spending time with their children and grandchildren in NC along with touring

the country in their RV. 

Let’s extend special thanks and prayers to the entire Villella Family for being a

foundational inspiration of hard work and faith to the entire St. Peter Parish

community.
