Vocation Directors
Sister Rachel J. Blais
Hello, I am Sister Rachel J. Blais, and I entered the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill in August 1986. As a Sister of Charity, I've had the opportunity to explore a variety of ministries.
I was a youth minister, high school religion teacher, and a campus minister for both high school students and college students. Before becoming a vocation director for my community, I was a campus minister for the Catholic Church for West Virginia University. As a campus minister, I planned service trips to Haiti, Jamaica, and West Virginia. All of these ministries have been rewarding.
Besides being one of two vocation directors, I am responsible for RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) at St. Mary Church in Star City, West Virginia.
In December 2008, I completed a master’s in social work at West Virginia University, which will further allow me to help others in need. I also volunteer at two prisons in West Virginia and am a board member for Empty Bowls of Monongalia County.
As a vocation director, I look forward to helping you discern your call to religious life and possibly, the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill. Please feel free to contact me with your questions and thoughts about religious life.
