Why did you say YES to becoming a Sister of Charity of the Incarnate Word?

In the 1960’s God was calling me through two friends who were entering the convent and the connections I had to CCVI Sisters I met in Grade School. The Sisters were fun (especially outside the classroom) and I was curious about where their joy came from.
