Sister Judith Nero

Originally from Canton, Ohio, I met the Benedictines through Sister Leona who taught me in 7th and 8th grade at Saint Benedict School there. We had fun while we learned a lot, and my family daily prayer was further nurtured! Though I went to public high school, the appeal of the Benedictine way of daily prayer together and sharing life in Community stayed with me. Through all the years of my many and varied ministries, in secondary education, parish and campus ministry, chaplaincy, religious education, volunteer coordinating of elderly services, vocation director, and as resident manager of Leo Meyer Manor Apartments for the Elderly, my focus has been and continues to be to listen and to lead people to renewed life through compassion, understanding, resources, and connections with others. I'm almost fanatic about re-using and recycling. I am blessed with strength and good health, and desire to use God's gifts to nurture a Community of faith and love.
