Her Charism:  The fundamental Franciscan values of conversion, contemplation, poverty, and littleness lie at the heart of this Sister’s spirituality.  Enmeshed in the spirit of openness, she is a woman on journey with Jesus as both her companion and her destination.  This pilgrimage leads her through paths of joy and suffering, allowing her to embrace fully the Kingdom of God present in our world and bring comfort and solace to all in need.  Her life’s message of simplicity and the power of prayer make her a symbol of spiritual love, guidance, and hope.  Through education and healthcare she preaches the Gospel and builds up the Kingdom with living stones.
