In 1973, in response to to a province questionnaire, Maisie stated that she felt a need for . . .some type of pastoral work with poor people. That summer she had taken part in a program for migrant workers in Bay City, MI. This experience put her in touch directly with people who were poor and oppressed and it awakened in her a desire to minister to the poor that would find fulfillment only much later.
In 1990, while assistant headmistress at Greenwich . . . she gave expression to her concern for poor people by working with others at the school to establish a liaison between the Convent of the Sacred Heart and the Carver Center, a social service center in Port Chester, NY. . .[Her] concern for diversity in education and the option for the poor were central to Maisie's spirituality. According to one who knew her well.
In 1993 Maisie moved to New York and joined the staff at the Little Sisters of the Assumption Family Health Services . . . Acting as administrative assistant to the director and teaching English as a second Language to mostly Hispanic women in East Harlem.
