- About Me:
- I am a believer in meeting people, especially young people, where they are at. That means not rejecting or condemning their culture, their music, their clothing, beliefs, or non-beliefs. We have to be level. We have to be real. If we want to have an impact on the lives of young people we have to be authentic, and as Don Bosco said, "Love what the young love and they will love what you love." Salesians are not preachers. We are teachers, but not only in the physical classroom; life is our school. Love is our rule. Reason our tool. Religion, fool - its in the heart, not the words. Preach always, but speak only when you must. What my dossier? I'm Salesian; its my DNA.
------------------>
I love being a Salesian. I love the charism. I love working with the young.
I guess it all boils down to what Cagliero said:
Monk or no monk... I'm staying with Don Bosco.
- How did you hear of the Salesians?
- I read a book about Don Bosco when I was a teenager and I was deeply moved by his confidence in the goodness of young people. I needed his message of optimism and faith in the young. Knowing Don Bosco and learning more about his outlook changed my life and I can honestly say that I would not be here today without him. After that, I got to know some SDBs and it has been one adventure after another!
- What do you think God is calling you to?
- Religious Life as a Salesian Sister (currently a candidate - 1st yr)... and I am already a Salesian Cooperator, but who knows what God is planning. I'm open.

i heard about you from Dominique and am glad to know you have been such a big help to her. How is life there in the Community? Are you already a novice?
All the best!!!
We just got back from a retreat with the FMA Novices. Fr. John Grinsell led the retreat. We had some faith-sharing on Sunday's scripture. It was a great experience. How are you doing?
I hope you have a very Blessed New Year with many delightful surprises! Jesus always surprises us with each new day, doesn't he?
But yeah. i have finally made it to the house! I love it here, the guys are, of course, the best. It's by far better than i expected.
When do you move back to CA?
