This episode features Sr. Mary Ann Culotta, a Dominican Sister of Peace, who made the decision to enter religious life on the night of a high school dance held at her parish, St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church. In her early years in religious life, she taught second graders and worked within Dominican schools. Sr. Mary Ann’s ministry for the past twenty years has been focused on dream work and spiritual direction, helping others discover how God might be speaking to them, whether sleeping or awake.

Trigger Warning: Brief mention of child death.
