💙Jubilee Celebration Post - Sister Michele Dvorak💙

Sister Michele Dvorak, PHJC, is celebrating 50 years of vowed life in 2026. Her ministry has been marked by a deep commitment to education and leadership. She began her service as a teacher at St. in Springfield in 1976 before continuing her own education at Ancilla Domini Convent in Milwaukee. Over the next several decades, she taught at both the elementary and junior high school levels before going on to serve as principal in schools in both Chicago and East St. Louis, Illinois.

Sister Michele later brought her gifts to higher education when she held several key leadership roles at Calumet College of St. Joseph in Whiting, Indiana, including Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs, Vice President of Academic Affairs, a professor, and director of the education program. She continued her ministry as a Province Leadership Councilor (Vicaress) on the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ Leadership Team and later as President of Ancilla College in Donaldson, Indiana.

In 2021, she founded the Life Skills for Mission program in East Chicago, Indiana. In 2025, she was elected Congregational Leader of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ and currently serves in Dernbach, Germany, guiding the international congregation with vision and faith.

Congratulations, Sister Michele!
