We are excited to have Father Anne at our table this week! Father Anne was ordained on October 16, 2021 in Albuquerque, NM through the Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests and is now an independent Roman Catholic priest. She has a deep love of the Society of Jesus and Ignatian spirituality, which blossomed over twelve years of ministering with Jesuits. She earned a Master of Divinity from Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley, CA, and has worked in several Jesuit parishes. In addition to her formation in the Catholic Church, Father Anne has a Master’s degree in Rhetoric and Writing Studies from San Diego State University and 25 years of experience in strategic communications. She harnesses her diverse background in working for a priesthood that welcomes women.

Deeply grounded in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, Father Anne has a passionate interest in the discernment of what the next era of the Church will look like. While many have understandably walked away from the Roman Catholic Church, Father Anne obeys the call of the Holy Spirit to collaborate with God on the project of equality in one of the most powerful institutions in the world.
