Northeast Times
By Jeane McNamara
Taking on the responsibility of leading the Little Flower community was at best a complex proposition when I took it on in the spring of 2018. It was a professional and personal gamble. I was ready for something more in my career arc, but recognized that I still had great responsibilities to my family’s well-being and my own. At that time, I had one child about to go to medical school, one launching in college and one starting high school. Little Flower is not exactly around the corner from where I hail in the bustling metropolis of Phoenixville. But having been formed by the Sister Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHMs) during my experience as the Academic Dean at Villa Maria Academy High School, and having been involved in the community in Phoenixville, I was drawn to Little Flower for its diversity, its rich history and its deep roots in its own community. A challenge didn’t scare me and neither did a lengthy commute.
