Sister Linda Lee Jackson, OP, presently of Columbus, OH, is celebrating a significant anniversary this year. 2017 marks Sister Linda Lee’s 25th year of consecrated life.

Sister Linda Lee, a native of Philadelphia, PA, entered the Dominican Sisters in 1989. She credits her maternal grandmother, Martha, for showing her how one’s life could be lived as a faith itself. “She was widowed at an early age,” Sr. Linda Lee explains, “so she had to make life-changing decisions in her 30’s, just as I did. The faith that she lived every day inspired me.”

Sr. Linda Lee’s ministry has been one of spiritual guidance and support, as she has served in retreat centers in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Florida. She also served as Campus Minister and Spiritual Director at the University of Dayton in Dayton, OH.  “My own life experiences helped me to become more empathetic in my work as a source of spiritual enrichment for women,” she says. “Every choice that I made throughout my life led to my choice to become a Dominican Sister.”

“If I could offer today’s young women who are entering consecrated life one piece of advice,” Sr. Linda Linda Lee says, “First, pray. Pray to find your passion. Then find a group of women who support and feed that passion, with openness to new calls. Find a community that can inspire and empower you.”

Sr. Nancy, a native of Lancaster, OH, entered the Dominican Sisters while she was a student at St. Mary of the Springs College, now Ohio Dominican University. She traveled across the United States during her life as a consecrated religious, working and teaching in schools and churches in New York, Michigan, Georgia, Kentucky, West Virginia and Missouri, and studying in California. One of her most memorable experiences was a summer spent in ministry to the Northern Cheyenne Native American in Lame Deer, MT.

“I loved being an itinerate like St. Dominic,” says Sr. Nancy. “I have met scores of wonderful people and become a better person because of it. For me, the many faces of the people that I have met make up the face of God – and each has left a mark on me.”

Sr. Nancy credits her mother as being the greatest influence in her life and her vocation. “My vocation began at home, with my mother. Her spirit of giving – her willingness to be approachable and to listen – she was an influencer in my life until the day she died.”

Today Sr. Nancy serves as Assistant Principal at the Holy Trinity Catholic School in Somerset, OH. In that capacity, she has the opportunity to meet many young men and women, and she has this to say to young people considering religious life today: “Take advantage of your ability to, and any opportunity to, give of yourself. The more you give, the more you will receive in return, and your life will be enriched.”
