Congratulations to Jeff, Jessica, Ayla, Katie Rose, Emmeline and Kellan Barzyk whom all have been recognized as the St. John Paul II Family of the Month for May 2025.
The Barzyk family has been members of SJPII since 2021. The parents, Jeff and Jessica, both graduated from Bishop Kenny High School and were married at Our Lady Star of the Sea in 2008. As a young family, they traveled around the southeastern United States but eventually returned to Jacksonville and settled in Nocatee in March of 2020.
Jeff works as a periodontal dental specialist for a group practice in Jacksonville, while Jessica is a school parent volunteer for Palm Valley Academy. The girls are involved in competitive gymnastics and dance, while Kellan is an usher at SJPII for Sunday noon Masses.
The Barzyk family is very involved in the SJPII Family of Faith activities. Their involvement in the many activities and their involvement with the parish strengthen their faith and fellowship with other parishioners. The Barzyk’s said they feel at home at SJPII and are rooted in their Catholic faith. They enjoy raising their children with the same faith and values through the Family of Faith Formation and through regular Mass attendance at SJPII.
It is a great honor to recognize this wonderful family as the Family of the Month for May 2025.
