In 1981, Sister Villeré began a social services ministry as director at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Center in New Orleans, where she remained until 1992. She spent three years providing hospitality to visitors at the U.S. provincial offices in St. Louis, before accepting an invitation to serve in pastoral care at Oakwood in 1994. There she was able to indulge her love of art through pen and ink drawings and watercolors. She shared her talents not only by giving away much of her artwork, but by teaching art classes to the residents. She moved to Oakwood as a resident in 2006, but continued her pastoral care ministry.
