Profile
Marina di Polto rscj, province of Brasil
My father used to tell me that he had asked my mother to give him: “first a boy, then a girl”. And that’s how it was!
I was born in Niterói, when it was the capital of the State of Rio de Janeiro. It was a peaceful city where we could play in the street, make friends, and walk beside the sea. Because I was born by the sea they called me Marina.
Mollie Ahern rscj, province of Australia - New Zealand
My family was of Irish extraction on both sides, and helped pioneer the pastoral industry of the Queensland, Australia. My father, however, moved to the capital where he married my mother in the early 1930's. I was the elder of two girls born to them. Sadly, they had just five years of marriage before my mother's death.
Anne Davidson rscj, Province of the United States
Born three months prematurely in 1921, I was immediately baptized and placed in one of the first incubators at S. Mary's Hospital in San Francisco. When I was two our family went to Europe for a vacation, which, due to circumstances, lengthened into eleven years. These were extremely happy for me. Though frail in health, when well, I was full of energy and joy at being alive.
Psychologist and rscj: Joanna Mos, Province of Poland
I was born in Gdansk, the harbor city near the Baltic Sea. But I grew up in Gdynia, which is also a harbor, 25 km from Gdansk. I lived there until I was 24 years old. I finished my high school there. While I was in high school I discovered a deep desire to help people, those who feel lonely, sad, and without a sense of life. I just knew that each person needs love and, I wanted so much to convince them that they are worth loving, that they just have to believe in it.
Shanti rscj, province of India
As I look back on my spiritual journey I am aware that there are certain elements that run like a thread throughout the growing or deepening process. My growth in spirituality is deeply connected with my personal identity. The more I discovered different facets of myself my identity, e.g. being an Indian, a woman, an rscj the deeper and more inclusive my spirituality became.
Yayoi Hayami rscj, province of Japan
I, Yayoi Hayami, was born on March 6, 1922, at Meguro, Tokyo. In those days, the surrounding was a field where badgers might be wandering about. A river flowed through the property and there was a waterfall. Our relatives lived in their own respective houses on the property. Today, the place has becoming a driving school.
Claire Castaing rscj, Province of France
Even if Christ, God or the Church are never named, my way of exercising
this role of Children’s Court Judge is probably the result of an
experience that has made a profound impact on my existence. I believe
in the young people’s future, I wish to help them to ‘choose life’ and
to arouse in them the desire to live, for often the children I meet no
longer believe in life.
