A Consecrated woman of Regnum Christi for 20 years, Deb Bauer, is originally from Wisconsin and has been involved in Catholic education and youth ministry activities for over 25 years. She obtained a BS degree in School Health Education from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse so she could help young people make good decisions with their lifestyle choices. Not satisfied in the public school setting, and wanting to share her zeal for her faith, she set out to study an MA in Theology and Christian Ministry, with a specialization in Catechetics from Franciscan University of Steubenville.
She then served as a Middle School and High School Director of Religious Education and Youth Minister at a large parish in Wisconsin for three years before entering consecrated life. She felt a strong pull towards giving her entire life to Christ and serving the Church in those years and she was also looking for a community setting where her faith would be strengthened and where she could continue to evangelize.
Deb served on the Diocese of Providence Evangelization Committee, and had been involved in leading the youth work efforts in Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Maine. Working in the area of formation of consecrated women, Deb saw the need for studying education so to be more equipped to train and educate the consecrated women and to be able to serve more effectively in Catholic educational institutions. Deb became the President of Mater Ecclesiae College and she holds her Ph.D. in Education from Capella University. Her dissertation focused on Catholic identity in the Catholic school system: how principals uphold a Catholic identity in their schools.
Before coming to Dallas, Deb served as a spiritual guide and part of the formation team of the women’s Regnum Christi section in Atlanta, she also served on the Pinecrest Academy School Board. She has also been a spiritual guide of consecrated women, and people of all ages. She sees her work in Catholic education and ministry as a means to put on the love of Christ and offer Him to others; the One she staked her life on.

Fr. Adam is originally from Walkerton, Ontario, Canada and is the fourth in a family of six children. From a very musical family, Fr. Adam sings and plays many instruments, something that remains a hobby and an important part of his apostolic outreach.
He entered the Legion of Christ in 2004 and studied philosophy in Rome before joining the formation team for the novices in Cheshire, Connecticut. He also did youth work for a year in Michigan, running Conquest clubs and directing the formation of high school boys as part of his internship, before returning to Rome to complete his studies, where he earned a license in theology. He was ordained priest in December 2017.
During his years in Rome as a brother and as a priest, he was assistant to the Chaplain of the European University of Rome, ministering to lay university students in Italy for nearly four years. This provided a wide range of experience in spiritual direction of young people, organizing missions, and creating positive spiritual experiences for Italian college students. He is looking forward very much to beginning his priestly ministry and applying his passion for evangelization and youth work at The Highlands School.

Dori Hangodi hails from Budapest, Hungary and has been consecrated for 22 years. She is the eldest of two sisters, has always liked languages and history and felt drawn to discover new cultures, people and countries. Before consecration Dori studied education and German – BA at the ELTE University of Budapest.
She also earned an MA in Religious Science at the Pontifical University of Regina Apostolorum in Rom, Italy and her MA in Religious Education at the Pontifical University of Sapientia in Budapest, Hungary. She has previously served in youth ministry and adult formation in the US, Germany, Austria and most recently at the Regnum Christi St. John Paul II school in her homeland, Hungary.
In the US (2000 – 2005) she was part of the founding team of the Canyon Heights Academy in San Jose, CA; she leaded many Challenge clubs and summer camps on the West Coast and beyond; she started the organization of the Surf Camps in CA. As she was transferred back to Europe (to Germany in 2005 then to Austria in 2010) she continued the building up of Regnum Christi through the above mentioned activities, but adjusted to the actual culture. For example in Germany instead of Surf camps, she leaded Ski camps. In the past 6 years (2012 / 2018) in Hungary she formed part of the pastoral department and formation team of our Regnum Christi school in Budapest, where her main areas of service were: accompaniment of high school girls and teachers; leading retreats for teachers and staff, for high school students and for parents. She was involved with the Pure Fashion program and had an important role in developing and executing the formation plan for participating girls.
She arrived to Dallas in September, 2018 and in November she was assigned to serve at The Highlands School as the formation instructor of the high school girls.

Anne Will is originally from Ohio, where she happily grew up out in the country as the fifth of eight children. She became more involved in her Faith when she joined the Challenge girls’ club in Middle School and by high school she was going on mission trips with her friends. As she discerned which college to go to, she began to feel God calling her to dedicate her life to Him. After discerning with the Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi during her Senior year of high school, she said “yes” to Our Lord’s call and was consecrated on August 20th, 2005.
During her years of formation, Anne received her bachelor’s degree in Pastoral and Religious studies at Mater Ecclesiae College.
