Mary Anne Marks graduated from Harvard University at the top of her class. You may have heard of her, she is the one that gave the salutatory address all in Latin.
She received a standing ovation.
In addition to graduating with a Classics and English double major with honors, she will be entering the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
You may remember these nuns from their appearance on the Oprah Show earlier this year in February and how they dazzled the audience as well as Oprah Winfrey herself with their simple devotion and love of Jesus in the Eucharist.
The following video is Mary Anne Marks being interviewed by Net New York‘s Outstanding Anchor Francesca Maximé on the Currents program.

4 years at Harvard and still stayed a Catholic.
It is amazing how Religion can have such a pull on people and the Bible have little effect. Looking for love in all the wrong places. Sad

A vocation is a wonderful thing. My son is in the Seminary. My only son, My only child.
I am happy for her as I am for my son!
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
Best wishes to the young lady. Ann Arbor is a bastion of psycho-liberalism and needs lots of prayer.
On another point, Latin is just a foreign language. Would it have been terribly impressive if she’d given a speech in Spanish, Telegu, or Cantonese?
Well like I heard in a song once, “when you got
nothing, you’ve go nothing to lose”.
Congratulations to you, and thank you!
