Biography
Sister Maureen grew up in a Catholic family in Chicago where the Sisters of Providence educated her for 16 years.
She said she first considered becoming a woman religious in elementary school.
During her years in college, she revisited the idea when Sister Margaret Sullivan, her physics teacher, declared that she would eventually be a sister.
In 1977, Sister Maureen entered the Congregation.
Currently, she ministers as the director of Providence Food Pantry. Prior to that, she served as the Assistant Principal for Curriculum and Instruction at Bishop McNamara Catholic School in Kankakee, Illinois.
