Sr. Tatiana Avdokushina
So here I am in Baguio City, ready for new experiences and most of all, to know and love the Filipino people, sharing many things with them: the mission which Jesus has given to the Church, the passionate love of the Heart of Jesus for humanity and our Cabrinian Charism, called to be "bearers of the love of Christ to the world." Read more...

Michelle Sherman
I’ve realized that in our faith lives, we are not divided into groups of “the converted” and “the unconverted.” We are the convert-ing! And since we are in a constant state of conversion, we must be willing to accept each other’s imperfections and idiosyncrasies, no matter how odd they may seem to us. If I truly believe that Jesus offered the Kingdom of God to robbers, murderers, and outcasts, then I surely can accept and love those around me, no matter how I may struggle to like them at times. Read more...

Rachal Thomassie
The very first thing I learned is that mission occurs everywhere. It is something inside of us we share and give to others - an attitude, a way of being.  Over the past 18 months God has been slowly revealing to me what prayer is and the various shapes it may take. Seeing examples of how the Sisters pray has shown me even more.  The word “relationship” is key, relationship with God and the person of Jesus.  Living in a larger community has been a wonderful experience. Such great variety in personality and interests provides rich learning opportunities. Read more...
