Secrets of Siena
Dianne Ahern became involved in writing books for Catholic children after a visit to the Vatican in 1999 when she had the privilege to look into the eyes of Pope John Paul II, hold his hand, and kiss his ring. It was an encounter that led her back to the Church, her real home, and into a new career. Her series, Adventures with Sister Philomena, Special Agent to the Pope, places fictional characters in real settings to teach children and their families about the saints, Holy Places, and the Church. She also writes books that help prepare children and families to receive the Sacraments and to record the events of these special days.
