Regional Formation Team

Mona Wolney OFS, Formation Director Queen of Peace Region

“Let us begin again, brothers, for up until now, we have done little or nothing.”
St. Francis of Assisi

   This saying by our Father Francis, was clasped in my hand as I accepted the nomination and election as your new OFS Regional Formation Director; it was placed in my heart preparing for the Regional Elections and it sits firmly in my heart moving forward.
   
   I’ve been a professed member of the Secular Franciscan Order since March 1982 or 38 years of striving to live the Gospel Life in the Spirit of St Francis.  I was formed in the St Anthony of Padua Fraternity in Minneapolis where the members continue to help me grow and live out my Franciscan vocation. In support of my Fraternal life I have served in many council positions as well as serving our Queen of Peace Region as Secretary. The areas that most excite me in Fraternity are designing liturgies, presenting on-going formations and writing articles for our Fraternity bulletin.
   
   Outside of Fraternity I’m retired from the USPS and am a lifelong native of Minneapolis Minnesota, currently residing in Eagan MN.  As an active member of St John Neumann Catholic Church in Eagan; I volunteer in the Pastoral Care ministry, Communion and Adoration ministry, Seven Sister Apostolate, and Dakota County Emergency Shelter volunteer. Additionally, I have served on the Minneapolis/St Paul Archdiocese Board for the Campaign for Human Development.
   
   I’m excited to serve you in this Regional Formation roll as I “begin again brothers and sisters for up until now, I have done little or nothing.”
