“I can’t say that I go to church as much as I’d like, but I grew up Catholic, got married in the Catholic Church. My children have been baptized in the Catholic Church and my son currently goes to a Catholic learning center that my daughter previously went to,” said Castro.

“I don’t want to give people the impression that I go to Mass every Sunday, but it is a part of who I am, for sure.”
