BRIEF PROFILE and LANGUAGES (for evangelization): 

Sr. Gioia was born in Nuoro in Sardinia, and from her conception was tied in a particular way to the figure of St. Francis of Assisi, due to a vow that her mother had made to the saint. She grew up, went to school, and received her diploma from the Art Institute. She was open to the experiences the world offered her and became familiar with the world of cinema, fashion, and nightclubs (as a dancer). During one of her journeys, she met someone who she thought would be the man of her life: a prince... (at least, according to the title of nobility he had inherited). But the fairytale life did not prove to satisfy, and she felt dissatisfaction and suffering growing within. On the day of the funeral of St. John Paul II, while she was watching TV, she was shaken by what she saw and her life radically changed. She prayed to Jesus and left her "prince," returned to the sacraments, dedicated her time to the most needy (helping at the soup kitchen), started to participate in the Charismatic Renewal in the Catholic Church and in the Third Order of the Carmelites, and gradually discovered her vocation to consecrated life. After a long search for God's will in various religious communities, her spiritual guide pointed out our community present in Sardinia and she began her vocational experience with a joy and freshness which mark her in a particular way.
