Deanna Rose's interest in social justice began with her educational ministry at St. Mary Magdalene's Parish in San Diego (1977-83) when she learned that four women and the bishop of El Salvador were murdered.  She invited a Jesuit professor of moral theology, from the University of San Diego, to give a talk to parishioners on the issues involved.  Had some of the participants in this navy town had access to rotten tomatoes, they would have thrown them at the priest !  Lesson learned. Be careful. Over the course of the next forty years she continued to open her eyes, ears, mind, and heart. She learned to seek counsel!  (To continue reading about Deanna Rose's ministries, please click on the links under her picture.)
