Sr. Helene de Bodman​
I am a French member of the Community of the Beatitudes and have lived in Denver for six years as superior of the sisters. I was part of the first group in our community to take religious vows, together with Fr. Jacques Philippe! Before Denver, I had a rich missionary experience in various countries, and I'm eager to share my faith with as many people as I can. I feel in many people a great thirst for God that they try to fill with the wrong things, and I want to help people drink from the living water Jesus offers us. I'm happy to be part of the Beatitudes Mission team, bearing fruit together through this ministry. I pray that the Holy Spirit opens doors for people who need to encounter the joy of Jesus.
Sr. sarah Mercier
Hi! My name is Sister Sarah of the Annunciation. I am from France and have been in the community of the Beatitudes since 2008! I moved to the Denver, CO house at the end of November 2021 and I am happy to serve and follow Jesus here in America! My task in Beatitudes Missions is to help form the daily life of the interns. My goal is to help them serve Jesus every day with joy, to grow in a spirit of faith, freedom, fraternity, and to serve Christ in their daily life.
fr. anthony Ariniello
Born and raised in Colorado, my formation path included the University of Notre Dame, diocesan seminary in Denver, the NAC in Rome, Jewish Studies in Jerusalem, a Pontifical License in Theological Anthropology at the University of St. Teresa of Avila in Rome, and Byzantine bi-ritual faculties. I helped found the chaplaincy at the Colorado School of Mines as well as Beatitudes Missions. I have guided over 17 student/young adult pilgrimages to Israel, and 15 to Europe! I have spent eight years residing in Israel and Lebanon, and now I live at our center for retreat and mission south of Paris.
