Ms. Anne Doyle was born in Staten Island, New York. From the age of seven, she knew she wanted to become a special education teacher. She attended St. Joseph by the Sea High School in Staten Island and later went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Special Education/Elementary Education from Buffalo State College in Buffalo, NY.

Ms. Doyle has been a parishioner at St. Mark for over 35 years and in ministry for 25 years. When she first came to St. Mark in the 1980s, she was enveloped by the welcoming spirit of the people and community, which is still felt and present today! The most rewarding part of her job is helping children and their parents learn and develop a relationship with Jesus. She finds joy in hearing a child pray and helping parents guide their children in the faith.
