Her Charism:  Embracing the grace-giving spirituality of St. Francis and St. Clare, this missionary Sister is passionately committed to proclaiming the joy and freedom of the Gospel.  Her life is one of radical simplicity and loving service.  She witnesses God’s love for all people and all His Creation by sharing the joy, pain, and suffering of her brothers and sisters, especially the poor, sick and dying, and marginalized. wherever they are.  This Sister seeks to imitate Mary in her unique role as Mother of God – to conceive, give birth to, and nurture the life of Christ – which is a life of love – in her heart and in the lives and hearts of others throughout the world.
