Born and raised Jewish, Rosalind Moss converted to Protestantism following a 15-year business careers as a successful executive with corporations in New York and California. After 18 years of Evangelical Protestantism, she entered the Catholic Church at Easter 1995.

She has since traveled the world speaking and teaching about the Church. For the past nine years, Rosalind has been a staff apologist with Catholic Answers and a guest of the radio program, From the Heart on Catholic Answers Live, as well as a co-host of programs on EWTN. Additionally, she has authored a Bible Study book on the Gospel of Luke.

At the invitation of then Archbishop Raymond Burke, Rosalind fulfilled her desire to establish a new community of sisters by forming the religious order, “Daughters of Mary, Mother of Israel’s Hope.” On a prior visit to Sacramento in February 2008, she first announced the formation of the new religious order, vowing to return to Sacramento one day in a habit.

Please help us welcome Sister Rosalind back to Sacramento.
