Merritta Florence, OFS
Regional Formation Director

My name is Merritta “Margi” Florence. I live in Des Moines, Iowa. I have been professed twenty years.
My journey began with Holy Trinity in Dubuque. Several years later I became the member of a NFG, “Holy Spirit” of Newton Iowa, several years later upon deactivation of that group I became a member of San Damiano Fraternity of Marshalltown, Iowa. Several years later a desire to establish a fraternity in the capitol city of Iowa meant I would again become a member of a NFG (newly forming Group), The Companions of St. Francis, sponsored by Holy Trinity of Dubuque. A full circle. I have had the experience of being Formation Director for eight years.
 
Personally, I am a retired educator having taught for fifty years at different levels, elementary, high school and college. At present, I work two days a week at a community college. I am active at my church, Basilica of St. John in various ministries one of which is the Catholic School Board. In my spare time, I practice Tia Chi. I am a widow. I have one adult daughter.
 
It is my honor to have the opportunity to be a servant leader in the Queen of Peace Region as Formation Director.
