Hello! Meet Sister Paschaline Kutac. She spent her childhood on a farm between Yoakum, Texas, her home parish, and Shiner, where she first attended public school because there was no transportation to a Catholic school. Her father had tried to get a bus to come from the Catholic School, staffed by the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament (IWBS) Sisters, in Shiner; he had been told that if he could get twenty-five students in the area to attend, the school would send a bus. When she was in the seventh grade there were nearly thirty eager students waiting for the busline which would continue for some thirty years.
She impressed her IWBS teachers, but felt more attracted to the Divine Providence Sisters who were working at the Catholic school in Yoakum. However, when she was 17, she had a dream which influenced her decision. In her dream she saw a holy lady, whom she has since identified as the IWBS foundress, crowning many IWBS Sisters with a veil. She saw herself among those waiting to be crowned!
After graduation, she was invited by a friend to apply for a job that the friend was vacating at Burns Hospital in Cuero. At that time the hospital was staffed by IWBS Sisters and by the end of a year, she had begun studying to be an IWBS Sister in Victoria! Sister has served many years in health care, the most recent of which was the School of Nursing in Yoakum in which she taught for 13 years. She is currently director of health care at Incarnate Word Convent .
