"The Jesuit School is a window on the world of today--and the Church of tomorrow!"

During her tenure at the Jesuit School, Sr. Mary Ann Donovan has taught countless courses in theology--currently, she teaches Church to 1400, Ecumenism and God, Christ, and Salvation in the Early Church. Many of her courses parallel her own professional interests, which include history of Christianity, women in spirituality and ecumenism.

Sr. Mary Ann is active as a teacher and a mentor, providing direction and sparking her students' interest in their own areas of research. She teaches her classes in a seminar format to engage her students in primary research and interrelation among church, culture and change over time, and guides students in preparing their theses and furthering their research interests on an individual basis.

Among her list of accomplishments, Sr. Mary Ann has published several books, including One Right Reading? A Guide to Irenaus (Collegeville: Liturgical Press, 1998), served as President of the Catholic Theological Society of America and served 12 years on the editorial board of Theological Studies.
