Sister Charlaine Fill, 50 years

Sister Charlaine Fill

"Without a doubt, the greatest grace I have received as a School Sister of Notre Dame is seeing the world 'from the underside.' I studied Spanish my early twenties, because at St. Alphonsus in Chicago, it was a need that was not being addresses at that time. Learning Spanish opened up my world and I eventually spent 17 years in Paraguay, confronting many unexpected needs, learning along with the people as we went. A line from the poem by Antonio Machado sums it up, Caminante, no hay camino. Se hace camino al andar." (Traveler, there is no road. The road is made by walking.)
