ZANESVILLE, Ohio- This years woman of achievement for the lifetime service award is Sister Bernadette Selinsky.

Sister Selinsky is from Green Bay, Wisconsin and has been a Sister for nearly 50 years working around the country serving God.

“I was a music teacher and my first 19 years of doing that I was in four different states and eight different churches and schools and now I’ve been here in Zanesville for 21 years as a Chaplin.”

Reflecting on her life, Sister Selinsky explains she is proud of her strengthening relationship with God over the years of caring for people.

“My heart has been more and more open to God through the years and especially the years I’ve been a Chaplin, working with people in crisis and trauma and transition and preparation for death. It kinda transports you into a world of real real deep meaning.”

Sister Selinsky notes she has never worked for things like this and that it came as a pleasant surprise.
