Director of Religious Education | Director de Educación Religiosasisterstmattgmail.com“We have come to know and to believe in the love God has for us. God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God….” 1 John 4:16
One of my greater joys in life was finding the personal love of God for me and for each of us – that we are made in His image and likeness and have unsurpassable dignity as human persons. Another great joy was being led to my community of Sisters and sharing in the mission of teaching the truths of our faith in God’s Spirit of Love through the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
As one of the middle children of a large family, I was raised in California. After entering the Society Devoted to the Sacred Heart I have mostly lived and served in California in parish catechesis of all levels and groups, and served at our Sacred Heart Retreat Camp in Big Bear Lake and Heart of Jesus Retreat Center in Santa Ana, California
To have a window into my life as a consecrated religious, please visit our community website at: https://sacredheartsisters.com/ You will ‘meet’ our founder, Servant of God Sister Ida Peterfy, https://sacredheartsisters.com/sister-ida-peterfy/ and see a simple explanation of our religious habit. https://sacredheartsisters.com/our-religious-habit/
As we are all called to be loving disciples of our Lord, I look forward to continuing to build up God’s family and kingdom with God’s disciples in Saint Matthew’s parish. Let us pray for one another.
