Sister Spotlight
Sister of the Month
November 2024
Sister Margaret Kohler
The threads that have intertwined in Sister Margaret Kohler’s life are a desire for a contemplative connection with God, nature and living creatures, and a love of science and its use to heal people in emotional or physical pain. She has been attuned to this insight all her life and sometimes it has led her to choose an untraveled path.
It all began when Margaret was a child in a faith filled family. Awed by the church, its rituals and the stories of saints, young Margaret decided she would become a saint. To do that, she would first become a nun. Meanwhile, she had great interest in learning about nature and her life was enriched by a succession of pets- cats, dogs, a turtle and various fish.
The years passed and Margaret was a high school student at the Academy of St. Joseph where her vocation was strengthened by the example of the Sisters of St. Joseph. One of them invited her to join the community and after attending college for two years. she did.
