With these skills, she has modeled and organized fashion shows for churches and non-profit organizations. She has also developed a program “Modeling Christ” for teenage girls. The program takes the seemingly secular perspective of make-up and fashion and combined with spiritual principles of beauty and modeling. The “Blessed Mother” is the presented as the ideal to follow, a model not only of beauty but also of purity and grace.
In 1996 Ms. Molfetta returned to school and received a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology, and a minor in television broadcasting from SUNY Old Westbury in 2000.

Ms. Molfetta graduated in May 2006 with a MSW degree and is developing a private practice. One of her objectives is to reduce teenage pregnancies by continuing the program she developed, combining her fashion skills and her Masters of Social Work to help our youth make healthier choices and develop a real sense of sexual integrity that will have a positive impact on their emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. As a result they will be empowered to say no to sex and practice abstinence, and as a result they will truly be “Modeling Christ.”
