Line Up

Next up on the line up: Sr. R

First I introduced to you our main teacher. Sr. TK teaches us a lot about the Sisters, discernment, and our faith, but we also are learning a lot of just how things go in the convent. Sr. R doesn't teach us any classes, but we spend a decent amount of time with her being her extra sets of hands.  She's the house economer which means she's in charge of all the money, so she is the one who we have to check with for a vehicle, does all the grocery shopping, and calls the plumber, roofer, etc.  She is also in charge of the grounds we live on and the school.  During the summer, she runs the camp held here. Sr. R teaches us a lot of life skills because while we are working with her we learn all the time.  About running a cafeteria, about running the property, and about a million other things.  She does an excellent job at looking out for all of us and making sure everything in the house is running smoothly.  It's big job and she keeps it all in line.  Although she has her moments where she can be intimidating it's very easy to tell that she's actually softhearted and out of her love for the people she serves she is tough for them.  Sr. R also has a great capability of making people laugh.  Originally she's from the Dominican Republic, so she has an accent and sometimes her pronunciations are a little off which will make all of us, herself included laugh.

Line Up

Mrs. MC made a request for an introduction of the lovely folks who live here in the convent, so I'll try to make an introduction each week.

First up in the line up is our formator, Sr. TK.  Sr. TK is the animator of the community and the aspirants' formator.  This means she is in charge of the community of Sisters, making sure every thing is running smoothly and everyone is doing okay and in charge of the formation process for us aspirants.  This job is very important and takes a lot of time because she besides teaching several of our classes, she also meets with each of the Sisters individually once a month and with the aspirants and temporary professed Sisters every two weeks. She also teaches classes to the novices.

Sr. TK entered when she was very young and has had a variety of positions in her time as a Sister. She has been a teacher, principle, animator and she is one of our former provincials.  Needless to say she's seen pretty much everything and therefore has a lot of wisdom to impart on us newbies.

She's also very anti having her picture on the internet, so I can't post a picture for you all to put a face to a name.
