Her Charism:  Rooted in the Franciscan penitential tradition of Gospel living, the charism of this Sister is intimate union with God in the midst of apostolic service and her educational mission.  In the spirit of Franciscan simplicity, humility, and poverty, she ministers through Christian formation, education, and development of the total person.  Responding to the signs of the times and needs of the Church, she joyfully ministers to the poor and needy.     As a faithful servant of the Gospel and her continuous inner union with God, she remains composed in patience and love in the midst of noisy children and gentle with the elderly.      In her desire for holiness, this Sister is a witness to the greatest commandment of love,    living it with joy and persevering patience.
