Vocation Stories

In this area you will meet Daughters of Charity who want to share their personal vocation stories with you.

Sister Phyllis Nolan, D.C.

I am Sister Phyllis Nolan.  I have been a member of the Company of Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul since I was 18; serving God and His friends in Missouri, Nevada, Puerto Rico, Texas, and for 20 years in Bolivia, South America.  I have truly loved 21 years of teaching in schools, as well as 28 now in parish catechetical and pastoral ministry.  Here in Arkansas, I am happy to be working with Hispanic people, and thank God for the human and spiritual enrichment of 35 years among them.

Looking back over these 50 years, there are so many blessings to thank God for: my wonderful family, my faith, my loved vocation.  I LOVE what life CALLS me to: to be totally given to God for the service of Christ in the person of those who are poor, to become more and more fully a Daughter of Charity according to the heart of Christ and of St. Vincent de Paul.  Pray for me that I do that!  And if God speaks to your heart, calls you to such a life, say YES with all your being.  You will never regret it!
