In this 1 on 1 podcast conversation, Christina has the joy of speaking again with Anne DeSantis, Author, Speaker, Podcast Host, & Non-Profit Director of the St. Raymond Nonnatus Foundation for Freedom, Family, and Faith.
This time, we spoke about Anne’s new book, Love and Care for the Marginalized: Spiritual Outreach Reflections for Catholics.
Episode #90: Love and Care for the Marginalized–1 on 1 Conversation with Anne DeSantis
Our discussion focused upon how each of us can grow in our awareness of who is marginalized as where the marginalized are, and how we can respond as Christ asks us to. Her book consists of 40 reflections designed to help you pray and reflect, but more importantly, to take some small action each day to grow in love and care for the marginalized in your midst–like a homeless person, an immigrant, an elderly person in a nursing home, or an estranged family member.
The biggest takeaway for me from our conversation is that the only truly effective action is one combined with prayer, and this is Anne’s latest book helps you cultivate that attitude and habit in your mind, heart and soul.

Anne also writes for three on-line publications: CatholicMom, Catholic 365, and Catholic Lane, hosts the on-line program called “Journeys in Faith with Anne DeSantis” on Fiat Ministry Network and Patchwork Heart Ministry, and cohosts a weekly podcast with Bill Snyder called the “Sewing Hope Podcast” on Patchwork Heart Ministry, as well.
In addition to her apostolic work, Anne is wife, mother, and former homeschooling parent to her two grown daughters, Alaine and Shawn. She and her husband Angelo DeSantis have been married for over 30 years and they reside within the Philadelphia area suburbs, and are both members of the Third Order of Mercy which is a prayerful/active member of the Mercedarian Religious Order.
