Her Charism:  Rooted in prayer and contemplation, this Sister is committed to discovering and revealing God’s love in the heart of the world through the restoration of Christian life and the service of education.  Education is at the heart of everything she does, from formal schooling and retreats to building and living in community.  Never afraid to cross new boundaries and bring glory to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, she forms herself and others to be women and men of courage and confidence, makers of change, and stewards of God’s love in the world.  She may cultivate a very small field for Christ, but she loves it knowing that God does not require great achievements, but a heart that holds back nothing for self.
