My name is Sandy Deatsch. I’m the new person in the church office, replacing Dana Carew who is enjoying retirement!  I’m a Diocesan Hermit in the Archdiocese of Boston.  I took the same vows as any religious sister, the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. I just don't live in community, and my superior is the Archbishop. My final vows were taken on Aug. 23, 2025.  I’ve spent most of my life in or near Rochester, Minnesota, then spent four years in Jacksonville, Florida, before coming to Massachusetts.  I’m very happy to be here working for you, the church, and for God.
