Her Charism:  This Sister is a member of an international Community of religious woman that was founded during the agonizing and ravaging Nigeria-Biafra war.  In the spirit of her founder, she is called to a courageous, generous, and loving response to Divine Love Incarnate.  Her love is humble, self-sacrificing, and solidly pious.  Rooted and grounded in the Mystery of the Incarnation and clothed in a habit of blue and white materials (the colors of our Blessed Mother), this Daughter is dedicated to the Infinite Love of God, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, under the special protection of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother of Divine Love.  Her generous and loving response to Divine Love Incarnate flows into her work in areas of substance abuse, rehabilitation, healthcare, catechesis, education, retreats, care of the developmentally delayed and physically disabled, abandoned babies, and the mentally and emotionally ill – in every walk of life where the manifestation of Divine Love is desperately needed and at work.
