"If I had one encouragement to anyone working in Religious Education, it would be to pray that not only God works through us, but along the way that God works in us; that we let ourselves be changed by what we're doing."

Sister Katherine Feely

"What inspired me to get into the ministry, really, had to do with exposure to the social teaching of the church. I didn't know it existed, and when I discovered and kind of stumbled on it, it really had a significant impact, and changed the trajectory of my life."
