Her Charism: Courageously and daringly this Sister discovers all paths to educate and be led by the Holy Spirit to help the poorest and most abandoned children. With the tenderness of the maternal Heart of Mary, she vows to understand and internalize the struggles, anguish, and injustice delivered to those on the fringes of society. This shepherdess perpetually listens for the Heartbeat of God and holds on to the hem of His garment while helping form the minds and the hearts of the young.
