| Introduction | Welcome into my world...First of all I see myself as a daughter of God and am a baptized and confirmed Catholic called by God to minister to those who are suffering and living within transition and uncertainty. I am also wife, mother, Nana, sister, and friend. My professional accomplishments have been gaining my Bachelors Degree in Sociology and Religion and my Masters Degree in Pastoral Ministry. Along with this I have completed 4 Units of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) and received my certification as Chaplain from the National Association of Catholic Chaplains in 2009. After this I returned to CPE and completed a "specialized" Unit in Religious Leadership. During this time I designed and implemented a Spiritual Discernment Program for the laity that included the clinical method of learning integrated into the CPE program. I have most recently been published in the Vision which is an online publication of the National Association of Catholic Chaplains. I have also recently entered into the Masters of Theology Program offered through Holy Apostles College in Connecticut and have begun working on my first book, "UNEMPLOYED, A Modern Day Lament". |
