About Our Speaker: Anna Marie Piconi Synder
![]()
Shocked by an encounter with a man knocking on the parish office door requesting help with basic human needs, Anna Marie began walking the streets of East County San Diego in 2016 to respond to his challenge, “What are you people going to do at the judgment?” “You are supposed to be apostles of Jesus.”
Armed with experience in healthcare, churches, and small business, Anna Marie began relationships with unsheltered individuals, nonprofit service providers, and outreach specialists, faith communities, and school leaders. After identifying critical gaps in services, through faith and courage. Anna Marie started a nonprofit. You Did It For Me, Inc., a religious nonprofit business connects homeless and other at-risk “neighbors” with community resources for housing, food, healthcare, and employment. With almost 100 volunteers, they are living the judgment message of Jesus. “As long as you did it for one of these members of my family, you did it for me.”

History of North County San Diego Chapter of Magnificat
The North County San Diego, Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapter, began in the early 1990’s. It took over a year of dedicated, faith-filled women, prayer and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to begin the chapter. The Chapter spun from the Central San Diego Chapter which is now inactive.
