“In serving God, we find our true self,
which no longer needs social affirmations.”
— Henry Nouwen
The Peace Within

Leading up to our Jubilee celebrations in July and August, we will introduce you to each of our 2021 jubilarians and share their special stories of faith and service. Today, learn how Sister Irene Novak has found inner peace, as she marks 70 years of religious life.
