How has being a sister helped you effectively minister among those who are non-Christian? ______ is an Apostle of the Sacred Heart of Jesus from the U.S. state of Georgia. She professed her final vows in 2018. With a master of divinity degree and a background in religious studies, she has taught every grade from pre-K through high school. After opening a convent in Ireland, she taught in New York City for three years before returning to Ireland in September 2020 to work in evangelization and parish ministry. Grateful as I am to welcome in a new year, part of me will miss 2020. For the past 12 months, we daughters of Blessed Clelia Merloni celebrated a "Clelian Missionary Year." As Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we take our call as missionaries seriously. An apostle is one who is sent. "Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature" (Mark 16: 15). The theme of our year, "To Love is our Mission," captures the essence of what it means to be an Apostle of Love with the mission of spreading the love of Jesus throughout the world.
