As Director of Maddie's Fund ®, she has launched a series of live and on - demand webcasts on various shelter medicine topics designed to help shelter personnel address medical and behavioral problems in shelter dogs and cats,
thereby helping them save more lives.
It includes both formation through evangelization and enculturation — the processes by which we are converted and initiated into the church and its tradition and
thereby come to acknowledge ourselves as a people in covenant with God — and education, or those processes of actualization that
help us to
live out our baptism by making the church's faith
more vital, conscious and active in our
lives; by deepening our relationship to God; and by realizing our vocation in the world so that God's
saving activity may be manifested in persons and in the church.
Technological advances such as rapid testing of patients and fast genetic analysis of viruses could
help experts deal
more effectively with emergency situations as they unfold,
thereby saving lives.
