Sr. Vandana, ss. cc., a dedicated religious Sister from the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts and originally from India, has made Hawai‘i her home through a life of service and faith.
She plays a vital role in our local community — mentoring youth, offering spiritual guidance, and leading weekly Bible Study with Upper School students at Sacred Hearts Academy. Through her gentle leadership, young women are invited to explore scripture, share life experiences, and deepen their relationship with God in meaningful, relatable ways.
Recently, her green card was set to expire — a potentially stressful moment for someone who gives so much to others. Catholic Charities Hawai‘i’s Immigration Services team stepped in to help Sr. Vandana, ss. cc. complete her I-90 application, in support of her goal to remain in Hawai‘i and continue her ministry for another 10 years.
We are proud to support compassionate leaders like Sr. Vandana, ss. cc., whose daily acts of love, service, and faith inspire all of us.
