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. Favorite Scripture quotation: Scripture passages frequent my day, but I find myself saying, "Eye has not seen, [...]

Current ministry: I am a 6th grade teacher at Mary, Queen of Heaven School in Erlanger, Kentucky.

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 [...]

  Current Ministry and Interests: Since May, 2003 I have been the new and first Development Director at St. Walburg Monastery.

I collect dragons (they're part of my theory about strengths and weakness, good and evil) and read as much as I can. I have a great fondness for animals, especially cats. [...]
