Hello, my name is Shannon. I am 28 years old and was born
and raised in Connecticut. I studied
chemistry and biochemistry at Western Connecticut State University, where I
also played on the women’s varsity soccer team.
I also spent a year at the University of Notre Dame where I earned a
master’s degree in global health and watched the football team go undefeated at
home and play for the national championship.
Go Irish!
Before entering, I worked as an entry level scientist at
Pfizer, Inc. in Groton, CT. I enjoy
watching and participating in almost any sport but my favorites are croquet and
gymnastics. I also really enjoy coaching
gymnastics, which I did for many years.
The devotion to Christ crucified and the humility and
simplicity with which the Sisters lived really attracted me to our
community. I was also drawn by the joy
within the community and the devotion that each Sister had to our Lord. For those of you in the midst of discernment,
I would first recommend spending time in silence with the Lord and open your
heart to His voice. And when you hear
His voice, do not be afraid to follow where He leads, for His plans are so much
better than our own. May Christ always
hold you close to His heart.
