Her Charism:  Mary Immaculate – the One who continually responded “Yes” to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit – is this Sister’s model of love and openness to the Lord.  With her missionary zeal, she imitates Jesus in His task of Teacher Who announced the Kingdom to the multitudes and gathered children to lead them to the Father.  Just as Mary was redeemed at her Conception in view of the merits of her Son, so education in schools intends to be a means of preservation from sin, in order that youth may live as creative Christian citizens in our society.  Mary, under the mystery of the Immaculate Conception, is at the center of her charism which is Trinitarian, Christ-centered, and Eucharistic.  It has its roots in Christ the Teacher and Mary Immaculate, the first fruit of the redemption.
