Sister Clare Christi Schiefer, OSF, president of the Pennsylvania Catholic Health Association, was recently honored with the Father Matthew Jankola Lifetime Commitment to Servant Leadership Award for Evangelization from the Sisters of Saints Cyril and Methodius.
Sister Michael Ann Orlik, SS.C.M., General Superior, explained why Sister Clare was chosen in a letter, “Your commitment to the health care profession was evidenced early on in your high school years, but you have taken this passion to a new level in your present position.” Sister Michael said that as “an ambassador for Christ in the public square” Sister Clare exemplifies the selfless actions of their patrons, Saints Cyril and Methodius who were sent to the Slavic nations and put the needs of others before all else.
Sister Clare has led the PCHA, an advocacy organization for Catholic health care, since 1982. Congratulations Sister Clare on this well-deserved honor!
