Carl &Melissa Pascarella

We have been married for 20 years and have 2 kids, ages 17 (Nicolas) and 1 (Luciana). One of our kids came to us biologically and one through adoption.  We are both originally from Pittsburgh, PA and moved to Maryland for teaching jobs when we got married. Carl is still working for Charles County Public Schools and Melissa stays home with Luci.  Marriage ministry has always been a passion for us as a couple, and we have been involved with marriage mentoring in the past. We are very excited to get back into helping to mentor and encourage healthy, Godly marriages.
