Sister Anna May began her ministry in education as an elementary school teacher in Saint Patrick Parish, Roxbury, MA and then at Our Lady of the Cenacle School in Richmond Hill, NY and Our Lady of Angels in Brooklyn, NY. After several years of teaching, she felt drawn to the nursing profession and studied at Sancta Maria Hospital in Cambridge, MA, thus beginning thirty-five years of service as a Licensed Practical Nurse. She ministered in several hospitals in Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island, NY, during which time she also cared for her ailing parents.
