    Personal Statement:

    Marie Prosser, 30, grew up in Fawn Grove, Pa., but now lives in Ellicott City, Md., where she worships with the Conventual Francisans at St. Anthony’s Shrine. Her parents, Jim and Camillus Prosser, belong to Our Lady of Grace Church in Parkton, Md., where Jim serves as a deacon. Marie, has already done a year of domestic volunteer service with the Capuchins. Marie earned a B.S. in chemical engineering at the University of Delaware and then an MAT in secondary science from the College of Notre Dame of Maryland. Influenced in part by participating in World Youth Day at Cologne in 2005, for some time she has wanted to teach in Africa. After a seven years’ teaching experience, including two at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Baltimore, she believes she’s ready now to teach overseas. Planning a January 2012 departure, she’ll teach English at Don Bosco Mekanessa in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Marie says, “Don Bosco is awesome!”
