She attended Knoxville Catholic High School, then the University of Tennessee where she majored in history.

She worked as as a teacher in Catholic high schools and a Parish Director of Religious Education and started writing for the diocesan press - the Florida Catholic - in 1988. Amy has written columns for Our Sunday Visitor and Catholic News Service at times over the past twenty years. Her articles have been published in venues ranging from Our Sunday Visitor to the New York Times to Commonweal. She has written 17 books. 18, if you included the as yet tragically unpublished novel.

<\/a> You may be interested to know that the feast day of St Claude de la Colombiere (quel bel nom!), Jesuit and anti-Jansenist, is celebrated today. At mass the priest in my Jesuit parish pointed out a side altar that has statues of Sts Claude and Margaret Mary Alacoque below one of Jesus with sacred heart. Also, when I came back and read the article, I found that he and Margaret Mary spent most of their time and are buried in Paray-le-Monial, which you probably already know. I didn’t or had forgotten. I visited it many years ago to see the wonderful romanesque church there.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
