In 1982 (Madeleine) joined Sisters Rosa Maria Orjuela, Mercedes Posada, and Bienvenida (Charlie) Velez in La Belle, Florida. They were living in simple housing among a large community of migrant farmworkers and serving their many needs. Madeleine’s visit to the La Belle Community convinced her that she belonged there, where she was needed so badly. The simple surroundings, the simple lifestyle, and the opportunity to become involved in Our Lady Queen of Heaven Parish, all appealed to her. For the next twenty-one years, she became parish visitor, director of religious education, hospice volunteer, sacristan, and a representative on the sisters council of the diocese.
