Join Brenda Quinn on Pilgrimage
Brenda Quinn went on her first pilgrimage in 2016, and has been leading pilgrimages ever since. Brenda is the co-founder of the South Jersey Good Counsel home for homeless pregnant mothers and their children. She also ran the Collegium Center for Faith and Culture in Haddon Heights from 2014 until 2021. She is active in her parish of Holy Angels in Woodbury, NJ, where she teaches Adult Faith classes, gardens and is the Anchoress for the Seven Sisters Apostolate. She is a mother to three wonderful daughters, plus a very goofy German Shepherd rescue. She likes to garden, read books, teach catechesis, spend time with friends and drink coffee.
In her professional life, Brenda is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biology. She teaches College Chemistry, Chemistry for Scientific Glassblowers, General Biology for majors as well as non-majors, Genetics and Ecology. She did cancer research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, developing a drug delivery system involving monoclonal antibody targeted liposomes. Her research is published in Laboratory Investigations and Cancer Research.
