Her Charism:  Like Mother Teresa of Calcutta, this Sister is a “little soul” in love with Jesus.  A woman of great prayer, she responds unreservedly to God’s love by forming disciples of Jesus for the New Evangelization.  Unafraid, faith-filled and joyful, she proclaims the Gospel (the reality of God’s love) through word, the witness of her life, and outdoor adventures.  This Sister slows down and takes the time to work with teens and young adults, and she shepherds their souls on the path to Heaven.  All this she does in the spirit of total abandonment to the Father’s Love and in imitation of Our Blessed Mother with her wholehearted Fiat (“Yes”) to God’s Will.  Discipleship is her special grace.  She sees the journey as the gift.  It is genuine, incarnational, and intentional.  This missionary is physically, emotionally, and spiritually present to every soul the Lord puts in her path and she seeks Christ in that soul.  Her prayers and sacrifices are also offered for priests in the spirit of spiritual motherhood.
