Question #1 - What attracted you to the IHM Sisters? 

Their joy and great ability to take on a totally different culture in such an easy and humble manner. If they could do it then I knew that I could at least try myself. 

Question #2 - What part of religious life brings you the most joy? 

Ministering to God’s holy people! 

Question #3 - When did you first begin to think that God might be calling you to religious life? 

Sister Claire and Sister Anne would always tell me: ‘you’d make a great nun!’  The year my family moved to the big city, they both showed up at my door to say hi and invited me to help the IHM’s near us! 

Question #4 - What is one word that describes your vocation?
