An SSND Case Study: Sister Betty Uchytil

Sister Betty Uchytil, SSND, was recently featured in her local newspaper for starting a new role as principal at a Catholic primary school. While the school is new to Sister Betty, serving as an administrator in such a school is not - and, as the headline of the article indicates, her vocation as both an SSND and an educator has brought her to a great variety of schools over the years.  

A few things I'd like to highlight from this article:

• Sister Betty became a teacher and taught in public schools for ten years before becoming an SSND. It's normal to try a career or two before entering into serious discernment with a community!
• Her journey brought her to a school in Nepal - and, soon after, back home due to the temporary closure of the school. You never know what might happen, or how quickly your course might change, when following God's call!
