Vocation Story 1...

Sister Miriam’s Story                                                      

My childhood was influenced by my two older sisters who were religious sisters and two other sisters who were planning for marriage. I had thought of being a sister and I recall dreaming of different ways I might help people in need when I grew up.                          

Later as a boarder in high school at Notre Dame Academy in Willow City, ND I received more instruction in my faith. The boarders schedule included regular prayer times and more informal contact with the sisters. Since I worked in the kitchen I had daily contact with all the Sister who came in for their after school coffee. I enjoyed their kind and friendly conversations. My friendship group also gave me strong support in developing good moral values and a strong faith in God.

All the students were reminded of our call as Christians, to do works mercy in whatever vocation we chose. With this support I felt that God was calling me to religious life as a Sister of Mary of the Presentation.
