Franciscan Sister’s Vocation: Called To Be a Parish Director

by Sister Julie Ann on December 9, 2008

Sister Pamela Biehl, OSF, comments on her call to be a Franciscan Sister of Christian Charity and a Parish Director of two growing parishes in the Diocese of Green Bay, St. Mary, Omro, WI and St. Mary, Winneconne, WI. Before being appointed by Bishop David Zubik, Sister received the blessing of her Franciscan Community Director to be the spiritual leader of these two congregations.

At the Eucharistic Liturgy formalizing the installation of Sister as Parish Director,  Bishop Zubik says Sister is “a consecrated woman who is in love with God, in love with the Church, and in love with her community.” View podcast.

    It is with great enthusiasm that I respond to Sister Pam’s video. She is our spark plug, leader and compassionant friend.

    For all you folks who think that they are being called to the religous life and hesitate because you think it might be too boring, think again! After seeing this video it is crystal clear how God can direct your yes!

    Pam, well done, our Lord’s good and faithful servant, well done.

    That was a great video. What an inspiration to someone contemplating the religious life. It was a sad day for me when I heard Sister Pam was leaving St Raphaels. However, I realized she was going to finally fulfill her dream of being a parish director. I could only be happy for her. She probably didn’t realize what a monumental job that would be with having two parishes. She is up to the task. Only good can come from her leadership. God bless her.

    That was very moving Pam. From the day I met you many years ago I knew you loved God and his people and you would be a blessing to all you encounter and you have lived that out. May God continue to bless you as you carry out His mission.

    An absolutely wonderful video!! It warms my heart to see it and to know that we have Sr. Pam here to help us in our own spiritual journey! We have been truley blessed with her presence here at St. Mary’s!! “Thank you for all you do Sr. Pam” seems so mi-nute and inadequate for all you have done!! Thank you God for Sr. Pam

    Dear Sister Pam,
    I was very impressed with the podcast, and how it depicts your leadership and spirit…nicely done!
    When I was searching for a church family a few years ago, I wanted a place where my son and I would be inspired with the energy of God’s spirit. I joined St. Mary’s of Winneconne because I knew many people there, being that I teach in that community. The energy of friendship in the church community is important to me. Now that you have come to lead our parish, I know that I made the absolute right choice! Your energy is exactly what I need to interpret God’s word, and my son just loves you! He now is interested in going to church, and has found someone that he trusts and admires. I thank you for your gifts given to our parish and our family.
