Ever wondered how a simple act of service can change the course of your life? Join us as Sister Michelle Elizabeth, originally from Staten Island, shares her compelling journey from a nominally Catholic upbringing to a life of faith and service in Davenport, Iowa. Sister Michelle opens up about finding solace and a sense of belonging as an altar server during turbulent times at home. Her mother's illness, intertwined with her own growing faith, set her on a path that would later include pivotal moments of loss and reconnection during a retreat at a convent.

Sister Michelle's story takes a fascinating turn when she takes a break from college to explore her religious vocation, only to find herself drawn back to academic life before an encounter with the SALT program reignites her spiritual curiosity. Discover how this summer service experience, alongside a nurturing community of sisters, nudged her towards a discernment retreat that brought clarity and peace. The emotional journey of contemplation, decision-making, and the courage to send in her SALT program application unfolds with honesty and vulnerability.

As Advent approaches, Sister Michelle invites us to reflect on the power of stillness and community in our own spiritual journeys. She shares heartfelt stories of finding purpose through service and the profound impact of recognizing Jesus in others. With her hope for a more interconnected Church, Sister Michelle's insights offer a beacon of unity and encouragement to embrace the strength found in service and relationships. Tune in to be inspired by her unwavering commitment to a life of faith and the lessons she's learned along the way.
