MaryCarole grew up in the Elmwood area of Winnipeg and attended St. Gerard Catholic School where she acquired her love for the Church. At a very young age her love and devotion grew towards the mysteries of the Trinity and developed a zeal to share this with others. Through out her early life she also became known as a hard worker and had kept several jobs while still attending school. She graduated in 1972 with an LPN degree in Nursing and worked for several years at the Childrens Hospital in Winnipeg. In 1983 she graduated from Red River Community College with a RN degree in Nursing. In 1993 MaryCarole earned her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Manitoba.
