CWP Q&A
​
Name: Monica Anyango

What do you do for work?
Professionally, I am an Emergency Room Nurse, transitioning into specifically, Catholic entrepreneurship. Through various platforms such as Simplicity and Productivity Co., Chicamod Co., Princedom Publications, Mater Dolorosa, Catholic Events, and Catholic Makers, I seek to lend my voice on issues of economic disparity, the dignity of the human person, and the pursuit of mission and purpose. My hope is to inspire others through faith and reason to ultimately seek truth.

What is your favorite part of work?
My absolute favorite part of my work is evangelizing. Whether I'm in the ER or using my creative gifts, it brings me immense joy to share the gospel message. The gospel is truly the pearl of the greatest treasure, and I am always on the lookout for opportunities to share the message of hope it brings.

Favorite ways to share the Gospel?
I have a couple of favorite ways to share the gospel at work. Firstly, I believe that we give God the greatest glory when we use the gifts He has bestowed upon us in our creative works. Through the work I do, my goal is to convey the gospel message. Secondly, I enjoy sharing blessed miraculous medals, rosaries, or books with others. During my own conversion journey, a book played a pivotal role in guiding me toward God. Books provide a means for individuals who may not be open yet to the message but  seek answers in their own time and privacy.

Favorite Saint or Faith Activity?
In terms of my faith, I deeply love the Mass and the Rosary, as they offer opportunities to spend time with the Lord, our ultimate LOVE. The Mass and rosary anchor and fill my heart with deep peace. I have a strong devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and Our Lady of Sorrows. I hold profound admiration for St. Joseph and Mother Mary as my models par excellence. Additionally, I find inspiration in the spirituality of theologians like Thomas Aquinas and Augustine, as well as saints like Catherine of Sienna. When it comes to novenas, my favorites are those dedicated to St. Anthony and Padre Pio.

​Favorite Hobbies?
As for my favorite hobbies, I find immense joy in singing with my choral program at my parish. I also cherish spending time outdoors, engaging in activities like hiking, camping, and traveling, among others. Community events centered around the Catholic faith are another one of my favorite things to do.
