Date of Profession:
August 9, 1987
Influences:
“My mom [Rosalie Richards] would be a great inspiration. I didn’t know when I was younger that my mom would have loved to have been a sister . . . Because of that she prayed that one of her children might have a vocation.”
Interests:
Cooking (especially soup and bread), camping, playing guitar, and researching the life of the foundress of the Sisters of Notre Dame, Sister Maria Aloysia Wolbring.
Best thing about being a sister:
“It’s a who, it’s a person . . . our God is deeply, intensely in love with us. You find that and it makes everything different.”

What about personal debt; do I have to pay off all my bills before I decide to enter religious life?
Answer
The Church requires a woman to be free of debt by the time she enters into the novitiate. Some communities allow a woman to continue employment during her initial time of living with the community (candidacy) in order to pay off any debts or loans. In some cases, the community will incur any remaining debt when a woman is ready to become a novice.
