The Roots Run Deep: A Conversation with Sr. Lynne Lieux, RSCJ
Manage episode 440250358 series 3588069
This episode features Sr. Lynne Lieux, a member of the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Since entering religious life in 1980, her educational ministry has reached students across several states. While educating in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Sr. Lieux constructed an innovative plan to bring students back to school. The teachers worked out of pizza parlors and community centers in Grand Coteau, Louisiana to continue their lessons. Her plan brought displaced students back into Louisiana and fostered learning in unprecedented circumstances. In addition to her work in the U.S., Sr. Lieux, through Amigos for Christ, brought student groups to Nicaragua on mission trips for thirteen years. Most recently, she has served as a member of the Provincial Team of the Society of the Sacred Heart for the U.S. and Canada Provinces.
