Called to Lift the Next Generation

What does it mean to reach the top of the corporate ladder—and then realize God has an even bigger mission for you?

In this episode of Called, Fr. Mike Schmitz sits down with JoAnn Chávez: former C-Suite executive, founder of the Michigan Hispanic Collaborative, sixth-generation Mexican-American, and proud Notre Dame law graduate. Raised in southwest Detroit, JoAnn shares her powerful story of growing up in the shadow of St. Anne’s Basilica, overcoming family addiction and loss, and choosing to turn personal hardship into a lifelong calling to serve the next generation.
