Sister Lisa Alexander Makes Final Vows


 

Sister Lisa Alexander pronounced her final vows as a Sister of St. Joseph of the Third Order of St. Francis on June 10, 2006. The ceremony took place at St. Matthew Church in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Sister Mary Alice Jarosz, Central Board member, received her vows in the name of the congregation.

In 2000, after attending just one "Come and See" weekend with the sisters and other women considering a vocation to religious life, Sr. Lisa sold her house in Florida, found a home for her dog, and moved to Wisconsin to begin the process of entering the congregation. She too Jesus seriously when He said, "Go, sell what you have, and come, follow me." Sr. Lisa entered the novitiate in 2001, and professed first vows in 2003. Sr. Lisa now ministers at St. Mary’s Hospital in Green Bay, Wisconsin, in both the Registration Department and the Credit Union. She sings on the choir of St. Matthew’s Parish and volunteers in many of the parish programs. She also volunteers in the CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) program of Brown County to assist children in need of protective services.
