Sister Anne Lazar

So, you want to know something about me!!! Well, let’s see. I was taught by the Benedictine Sisters at St. Boniface School. From the time I was in the 5th grade I wanted to be a sister. My family was and is supportive. As a senior in high school I was a postulant and in July, after graduation, I received the habit and the name Sister Anne. (I love my name and my patron!)

I wanted only to be a sister; I had no intention of being a teacher. But at that time being a Benedictine sister pretty much meant being a teacher and that’s what I was trained for. (I must have been pretty slow in school though because after teacher training I spent almost 30 years in 1st grade!!!)

Currently I am living at the monastery where I serve in a variety of ministries. Often you will find me answering the phone and welcoming people who come to the door. I am delighted with this new opportunity.
