NIAGARA UNIVERSITY — A member of the Daughters of Charity Province of St. Louise has been assigned to Niagara University to extend her ministry and service to Niagara Falls and the campus community.

Sister Bernadette Miller, DC, an alumna of Niagara University, will work closely with  the Rev. Joseph L. Levesque Institute for Civic Engagement to develop and implement educational pathways to reduce the achievement gap.

"We are extremely excited to welcome Sister Bernadette to Western New York and our university community," said Father James J. Maher, CM, president of Niagara University. "Sister Bernadette's presence is a living example of the collaboration between St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac. How fitting in the Holy Year of Mercy called for by Pope Francis that we are gifted with a member of St. Louise's company to advance our Catholic and Vincentian mission, and serve people living in poverty."
