Annemarie Dudek

I was born on Long Island, the sixth of eight children, four boys and four girls. From an early age I felt drawn to a relationship with God and to religious life.

Franciscan values spoke to my heart: following the poor Christ,
a simple Gospel life, a joyful loving community, love of all
God’s beautiful creation.

As a Poor Clare my contemplative life in the Church lifts up to the Father the joys and sorrows and needs of all people.

I join my life to the prayer of Jesus: “Thy Kingdom come!”
