2024 Jubiliarian
Facing a culture torn by division, Sister Sarah Crotty sees her role as community outreach coordinator as “the perfect canvas to express our charism of unity – to build relationships” and bring people together to create a better world.
Her journey into religious life began in service, through the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, where she experienced life in community as the “hardest” and “most rewarding” thing she’s done. Seeking a community of faithful people to be part of, Sister Sarah connected with Sister Paula Drass for spiritual direction and laughs that “God just ushered me along.”
Bringing her gifts of patience, presence, and compassion to bear as a social worker, Sister Sarah has supported older adults through aging-related transitions at LIFE Beaver and helped families experiencing poverty, mental health crises, and housing instability at Focus on Renewal, where she served as Associate Director for 11 years.
Infused in every outreach and partnership she helps the congregation form is the “joyful, life-giving, and energizing” spirit she’s discovered from life in community, where everything “is an occasion of grace.”
