BIO: Sr. Ann is about to begin a new ministry at Salesian High School in Redmond, CA.  She has previously work in the local and diocesan scene in San Antonio, TX

QUOTE TO NOTE: One of the main things that we use as a tool  that Saint Don Bosco gave us was the whole idea of accompaniment, walking along with, journeying with, a young people.  So, it is not necessarily only in the classroom, in the formal situations; there is the Saturday kid’s clubs, which he called at that time oratories.  (These are) the informal time where we are with young people, we pay attention to what young people love, (and) we educate ourselves because we (adults) are not there anymore.

OBSCURE FACTOID: Sr. Ann has been the token Catholic, the rare woman, and the only nun of a national ecumenical group addressing the needs of middle school youth ministry.

BEHIND THE SCENES: Poor Ann, she called attempting to conduct NFCYM business with me and got suckered into a podcast interview
