Ashland woman opens heart to call from God
A native of Ashland, Sr. Lucia – or Anya Gadamus, as she was then – attended Our Lady of the Lake Catholic School and graduated from Ashland High School in 2008.
Sr. Lucia grew up on a hunting preserve and spent a lot of time hiking, backpacking and camping. She was active in sports in high school; one of four valedictorians in her class, she liked art and traveling and spending time with friends.
Sr. Lucia is currently in her novitiate with the Missionaries of the Word. She makes her first vows with the 3-year-old, three-member community in April.
“I have been told I have a Franciscan heart,” Linton explained. “I have always wanted to life a simple life and to serve those in need. I am following the example of my parents. They have been devout in their faith and helping others. They are hard-wired for service. Turns out I am as well.”

What is something about your parish most people might not know?“Of all the things that should be beautiful in the sacred liturgy, music is one of the most important ones,” said Abbot Marcel Rooney, OSB, to the attendees at the St. Thérèse Lecture November 20 at the Bishop O’Connor Catholic Center in Madison.

WXOW: Pope Francis is undoubtedly a social media star
Recent Pew studies show only 16% of Millennials identify as Catholic out of the more than 65% who adhere to some sort of faith.
