Sister Evelyn: Highland, Indiana

Sister Evelyn, a Sister of St. Francis of Assisi from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, began her professional career as musician-liturgist in 1959. Since that time, she has ministered in Wisconsin, Illinois, Tennessee, South Carolina and Indiana. In 2006 she began Poverello Delights, her creative homemade candy-making business, with seed money from her family and her religious congregation. "Poverello" refers to St. Francis, meaning "little poor person" in Italian. Proceeds support the sisters in their work of continuing the mission of Jesus with the poor and unprivileged. "Everything is homemade and from the heart," says Sister Evelyn.
