As we continue our celebration of Catholic Sisters Week, we are honored to recognize Sister Helen Jilek, OSB, and the devoted women of the Benedictine Sisters of the Sacred Heart.
We have had the privilege of working with Sister Helen in her capacity as Treasurer for her Community. In all that she does, it is clear that Sister Helen lives her calling, not just in a life dedicated to service, but in giving her talents as Treasurer. Her steadfast commitment to fiscal responsibility ensures the long-term stability of the Benedictine Sisters, as well as their enduring commitment to their mission and ministries. Sister Helen inspires us with her energy and her embodiment of Christ’s call to stewardship, as she gives of her wisdom and time to the many boards and committees on which she serves.
Alongside Sister Helen, the Benedictine Sisters continue their shared mission of prayer, hospitality, and service. Together, they exemplify faith lived through action — strengthening their community and welcoming others with generosity and care.
We are grateful for Sister Helen and for all the Sisters whose lives of dedication continue to inspire. Many blessings to you all.
