Current Interests: I have remained active in promoting the Benedictine charism at Villa Madonna Academy by chairing a Benedictine Identity Committee with six of the lay teachers, Sr. Mary Carol, CDP, and Sr. Mary Carol, OSB.

Current Ministry and Interests: In 2003 I retired from being administrator in the Infirmary, having been a teacher for 43 years and serving in administration as sub-prioress for 12 years. I continue to lead exercises with the infirmary sisters twice each week, take people to doctors, do periodic night duty and help wherever I can. In my spare time I enjoy reading, crossword puzzles and crocheting baby booties of all kinds. I make these for my own pleasure and that of those who receive them.

This has been true since my earliest years in community. "Let everything that lives and breathes, praise God." Monastic Life at St. Walburg Monastery: We pray, work, celebrate. Our daily lives are nourished by the Scriptures and the liturgical seasons. What I value about community life: I value the way we support [...]
