Sister Juana Teresa, DLJC Prayer Town, TX

Born in Seoul, Korea, Sister Juana Teresa grew in her Catholic faith by the help and encouragement of her mother and grandmother who were newly introduced to the faith. As newborn babies in Christ they were filled with great zeal and love for God. Even as a little child she knew that God had a unique and special plan for her life. Her becoming a Sister was a response of love.

Sister Juana Teresa was baptized as Helen Chung. Helen was ten when the family left Korea for Paraguay. In this beautiful tropical Country in South America, Helen learned to speak Spanish and received her first communion. Once again, the family immigrated; this time to live closer to relatives in Toronto Canada, where she received the sacrament of Confirmation. She had a deep and personal encounter with God through the baptism in the Holy Spirit. In 1991 Helen attended The Niagara Falls Charismatic conference where Mother John Marie was speaking. When Helen met with Mother John Marie, the Lord whispered gently to Helen, " in this community, I will teach you how to love." In October of 1992, she joined the Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ and received the name Sister Juana Teresa when she entered the novitiate in June of 1993. She made her first profession on Oct 23rd 1995 and perpetual profession of the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience in October 2000. Sister Juana Teresa says that the Lord called her to learn to love and she is still learning each day by following in the footsteps of Jesus. She loves dogs and cats, her favorite devotion is the Sacred Heart of Jesus her favorite saints are St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta, St. Padre Pio and Bl. Staley Rother.
