About Sister Carol Ann Mause: Over the years, I loved working with students from preschool to high school. From 1985 when I started work as a pastoral associate, I was able to contribute much as a woman working with many priests. At times I could be a listening ear for people where sometimes it was easier to talk to a woman than to a priest. Even though I am now retired, I still have the opportunity to work with high school students in our Adopt-a-Sis program at the motherhouse. I love the ability to work with teens, and also to visit our sisters in St. Clare Healthcare Facility.
