"A missioner is someone who goes where they are needed, but not necessarily wanted; they stay until they are wanted but no longer needed." I think of this Maryknoll definition of missioner as a guide which defines my lifework as I transitioned from a seasoned corrections professional with many years in the system to become a strong advocate for those impacted by incarceration, intent on being a Christ presence and to act accordingly as I listen with the ear of my heart.

Why are you an oblate?
When I left corrections in 1997, I spent nine months at Mount St. Benedict Monastery in Crookston, MN as a volunteer and to glean spiritual sustenance in preparation for the work I was being given to do, be a voice for those silenced by incarceration. During this time, I studied under the direction of Sr. Mary Ann Stuart, Oblate Director and became an oblate in October, 1998. I found the Rule of St. Benedict to be a set of guidelines that needed to be shared with the incarcerated.
