Her Charism: As a spiritual mother, Bride of Christ, and woman of study bound to the liturgy, her charism (which is tied directly to the renewal of religious life) is to embody the graces of the New Evangelization of the third millennium Church. Inspired by the spirit and energy of St. Dominic, this Sister strives to be a Eucharistic soul and an authentic Christian and proclaimer of the Truth (“Veritas”) to a world that is starving for a real encounter with the Person of Jesus Christ. With total filial entrustment to Mary, the Mother of God, she preaches the Gospel Truths, teaches the Faith, and educates the millennials in virtue in order to gain souls for Christ. This contemplative apostle fully embraces the demands of our culture, giving “new voice and flesh” to the Gospel which she carries to everyone she meets. This Sister believes in building up the Catholic Church one soul at a time.
