For over ten years, I have served as the Nursing Coordinator for our CSA Sisters. I was called to this ministry in 2009 by our CSA leadership team while I was a staff nurse at St. John Medical Center, and I responded to the challenge. My previous long hospital nursing experience is essential to meeting the holistic health goal of each Sister. I have daily contact with our Sisters in both nursing and assisted living units, and I also adopt a supportive role with our active Sisters living away from the Motherhouse when appropriate. I see my ministry as one of presence to our Sisters and staff. My goal is to listen and be open every day to needs as they arise, and to accompany each individual as they strive to achieve these goals. There are many difficulties and many joys that come from our working together. I am fortunate and blessed to do this ministry for my own religious community.
