Her Charism: This Scalabrinian Sister wants her presence to be a humble witness of communion and a prophetic voice speaking out against injustice and proclaiming hope to all God’s people. She is consecrated for the mission with migrants and refugees with a particular focus on the poorest in situations of greatest vulnerability. She acts as a bridge across distances and differences in various situations in which migrants find themselves. As a pastoral missionary of social justice and mercy she helps them discover the love of their Heavenly Father. Her motto is: “Passio Christi Gloria” – “The Passion of Christ is Glorified.”
