Her Charism:  Empowered by the Holy Spirit and a sense of mission, this Sister longs to give her love and her whole life to the service of spreading the Gospel of God’s love, justice, and peace, in whatever way she can, with people of different nationalities and cultures.  The passion of her life is that Christ be known to all nations.  This missionary serves in the fields of education, healthcare, spiritual guidance, social work, catechesis and chaplaincy work to open every heart to love.  She firmly believes that the human heart is far too great to be held captive by creatures.  There must be room for Jesus.
