I enjoy my active role in Sunday Mass as both a greeter and a lector. I find that I am not only educating others but enriching myself by promoting issues of social justice. I look forward to continuing my work in ministry leadership.” Ursuline Leader Anissa Figueroa, School of Arts & Sciences, Class of 2016 Anissa became passionate about issues of peace and justice as a high school student at The Ursuline School in New York. Specifically, the issues of human trafficking and fair trade have inspired her to desire to learn more about social justice and to advocate for the marginalized.
