First time voter who works with Sisters of St. Joseph

Christela arrived for work today
 proudly displaying the sticker given at the polls.

Voting is a great privelege. But I've never been so aware of this since, Christela, a wonderful young woman, showed up in our Advancement Office a couple of years ago. She's now a senior at Christo Rey High School in Boston.

as a U.S. Citizen.
Accompanying her are Sister Pat,
Director of The Literacy Connection,
and Mary Rita, a CSJ Associate
and Director of The Women's Table,
 another Boston CSJ ministry.

She worked with Sister Pat, Director of The Literacy Connection; one of our ministries. Sister Pat offers a Citizenship Course as part of The Literacy Connection. She also was helped by Sister Ann in the Advancement Office and many others.
Last spring a picture of her citizenship swearing in day was featured on the front cover of Connecting, our Mission Advancement magazine.
