BRIEF PROFILE and LANGUAGES (for evangelization):
Coming from a Muslim family, she began her conversion towards Christianity and Christ in November of 1993. She received baptism as an adult in 2006, risking being stabbed to death by a close family member who did not want her to convert - but baptism was more important to her than the threat. She continued on her journey and searched for her path for some years, until someone from the pfsgm community was attentive to her Divine Calling and helped her realize her "dream": to be able to live the entirety of the Gospel in deed and in truth (cf. 1 Jn. 3:18). In addition to Albanian, she writes and speaks Italian. To read her complete testimony, click here.

BRIEF PROFILE and LANGUAGES (for evangelization):
Although she came from a practicing family, she approached the Church at the age of 15 thanks to the youth group of the Parish. She met the Little Friars and the Little Sisters of Jesus and Mary (pfsgm) for the first time during a school camp organized by her Parish. At that moment the fire lit in her chest and she felt a particular attraction towards the pfsgm lifestyle, however, once the school camp was over, she lost contact with the community. But after a period of suffering, she began her journey of vocational discernment, followed by Sr. Veronica, who led her to mature the decision to undertake a journey of consecration with the Community of the pfsgm.
