Teaching the Faith in a Complicated Culture: Sr. Mary Katerina’s Story

What happens when a Sister trained in Rome goes on to form the future priests of the Church? In this episode, David DiNapoli, President of the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross Foundation, sits down with Sr. Mary Katerina Masek, an alumna of Santa Croce who has gone on to teach both college students and seminarians. Sr. Mary Katerina reflects on her time studying in Rome, the unexpected path that led her there, and the kindness of professors who shaped her faith and her teaching. From working with college students fresh out of modern culture to now preparing men for the priesthood, Sr. Mary Katerina offers an inspiring look at how a Santa Croce formation can ripple through countless lives. Along the way, she recalls powerful memories of mentors like Msgr. Glenn, the beauty of community, and how God’s providence guided her at every step.
