what little we had, we shared and we gave. Now, God has blessed us with this wonderful Lumen Christi Award,� said Sister Johnna. �The money is greatly needed, but the Light of Christ really touches us. God always comes through with blessings for us and that�s the way we�ve learned to live. We�re depending on God�and that�s what people around here do.�

Through it all, the Sisters themselves feel blessed by their ministry. But it�s the people of Kingstree that feel blessed by them.

�The Sisters have really inspired our community; all our churches are getting together and committing to helping the Sisters,� said Ricky Burrows, Mayor of Kingstree. �The Sisters have been an asset to Williamsburg County and Kingstree. Without their work, I don�t know what this section of town would have been like if they had not been here.�
