Oral history: the adventures and challenges of Sister Dorothy Ellen Wolsiffer, SP
“When I look back over the years of the variety of ministries, I see them as challenging but adventuresome.

God’s love throughout the years has sparked my life and made it more interesting. Life flows like a river: smooth, bumps, twirls, spinning on rocks and falling.”
