Sister Laura entered the Congregation on September 18, 2003. Currently, she ministers on the Congregation’s Leadership Team. Prior to that, she was the Director of Spiritual Care at Holy Cross Hospital in Chicago.
Prior to joining the Congregation, Sister Laura had a career in nursing and also ministered as a hospice chaplain in Des Plaines, Illinois, where she helped multiple people deal with end of life issues, something she described as an “extremely personal process without any strict formulaic approach.”
