Send us Fan MailJoin Ellen as she talks with Dr. Leisa Marie Carzon and be inspired about the life of this amazing surgeon, soldier and now a sister in the Little Workers of the Sacred Heart. Sister Deirdre Byrne is an active missionary sister and superior of her community in Washington, DC. She is double board-certified in family medicine and general surgery. A native of the Washington, D.C. area, Sister Deirdre (known to many as Sister DeDe) is one of eight siblings, attended Langley High School, and graduated from Virginia Tech. After college, Sister DeDe followed in her thoracic surgeon father’s footsteps and entered medical school at Georgetown University, where she eventually completed a surgical residency. During that time she also joined the Army. After a life of medical and military service in far ranging areas, she was led to the Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts community, whose charism involves sisters placing each and every person they care for between the Heart of Jesus and Mary. Show sponsored by Thales College.   https://www.thalescollege.org/https://divinemercyradio.org
