“The Felician Difference” Vocation Reflection
By: Sr. Mary Joanne Suranni
The spirit of Franciscan joy led me to the Felician Sisters. When I was a young woman growing up in a small town, the sisters served as my teachers at my local Catholic high school. One sister stood out as joyful and vibrant. She had a fire in her soul that spoke of love and generosity. Her spirit awakened in me the call to religious life and largely shaped who I am today as a Felician Sister.
The presence of Felician Sisters in my life opened me to new elements of faith and spirituality that I had never experienced as a young person. Through our high school mission club, I came to understand what it really means to have a personal relationship with Christ. I can honestly say that I met Jesus through the Felician Sisters and I fell in love with Him. As I have grown in love with Him through prayer, community and consecration, I have been blessed to serve the Lord with joy through various ministries.
This reflection was shared as part of National Vocation Awareness Week. Discover more stories of vocation from our sisters.
