Lentorama 2007: The Non-Canonized Catholic Person of the Day

Today's person is Sister of Mercy Suzanne Toolan. Born in Michigan, she moved to Hollywood while in her teens. She's lived in California ever since, and in her calling has been involved in prison ministry and, most notably, liturgical music. Among the many contemporary hymns to her credit is "I Am the Bread of Life," which was our communion hymn today and has been stuck in my head for most of the afternoon.

Sister Suzanne also has some connection to the Taize movement, an offshoot of an ecumenical Christian community in France.
