The sisters’ sense of mission.

Step out in faith  - over time, I have had so many more opportunities that I never knew existed before 

Question #3 - Who is your favorite saint, and why?   

St. Therese, because of her littleness, simplicity, and great love. Whenever I am in doubt, I ask God for a yellow rose, and it always appears. I know that is St. Therese interceding for me.

Joy.
