From
marching bands to working with social concerns and immigrant families,
my life with the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament Sisters has
been full of opportunities to see how God's work is done by transforming

I want to work toward justice and peace for all members of the Earth
community. I'm continuing the mission…

occupational therapy degrees, I have been able to help people with
both physical and spiritual needs.
I'm continuing the mission… As
a teacher, I saw how the unfair system left some people with a bleak
future unless something changed. As a Sister of Divine Providence,
I received my Masters Degree in Social Work and even lobbied in Washington,
DC to bring about much needed positive changes. I'm continuing the
mission…
