Sister Joana Ribamar Pereira Campos
Revealing Love within Hospital Ministry
Sister Joana works as a technician in a hospital in Brazil and her preference is to take care of children. In this field she has the opportunity to live the SASV mission of “revealing love in education” by listening and guiding the mothers who accompany their children.
In her local community, she is present to those around her, sharing their moments of joy and suffering. “Sharing the Word helps us to find together lights to guide our way. We like to remember that Jesus came that we may have life and Life in abundance. (John10:10).”
Sister Rita St. Onge
Supporting English Learning
Life-long educator in the U.S., Sister Rita St. Onge, continues a special teaching ministry in her retirement by meeting with two Spanish-speaking employees where she resides who want to learn English. She meets with the hard-working staff members during their scheduled shift breaks. Each session is prepared with meticulous care. Sister Rita relishes the gift of working with these two individuals as through her encounters, she is beginning to learn some Spanish. “In giving we receive,” shares St. Francis of Assisi. Through this service, Sr. Rita is blessed in many ways: new relationships, exposure to a different culture, and language learning.
