Description
She had never even seen a Catholic nun in person, until her own journey to the Catholic faith led her to become one. Now, Sister Mary Anne of the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of America is challenging Catholics to recover the missionary spirit the Church so desperately needs.
In this moving address at the Catholic Identity Conference 2026, Sister Mary Anne recounts her conversion from a Protestant upbringing in Singapore, the extraordinary story of baptizing her 93-year-old grandmother, and the urgent need to bring souls to Christ.
She challenges the abandonment of the religious habit, warns against raising “Sunday Catholics,” and reminds parents and religious alike that our mission is not simply to comfort the world, but to convert it.
Here is a powerful testimony to the saving grace of the Catholic faith, the vocation of religious women, and the work of winning souls for Christ.
