Our Sister Donna Jo Repetti, OSF, Director of Guidance at Benedictine Academy, was awarded the prestigious honor of being named the Franciscan Sister of the Year by the Franciscan Sisters of Philadelphia, for her work to abolish human trafficking. Her congregation consists of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of Franciscan Sisters across the globe. In 2006, Sr. Donna Jo began her ministry to educate others about the dangers of human trafficking and work with government officials to protect victims from further injustices.
At the Franciscan Federation Annual Convocation in Pittsburgh last week, Sr. Donna Jo's name was in lights as the Sisters blessed her and sang praises giving thanks to the Lord for being a good and faithful servant.
Sr. Donna Jo in all her modesty recognized "that the Spirit of the Lord was upon her to bring good news to the poor, heal the broken-hearted and free the captives".
