Sr. Emy Ychikawa

Sr. Emy was born in Lima, Peru. She joined the Religious Institute Pro Ecclesia Sancta (“For the Holy Church” in Latin) in 2006 after graduating with a degree in Elementary Education from Sacred Heart University in Lima. She professed her perpetual vows in 2012 and was sent to the U.S. to start a new mission of sisters. She holds a Masters in Theology from the Saint Paul Seminary and currently serves as the local superior of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Convent in Minneapolis. With gratitude to God, she has had the opportunity to serve in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis in various ways including vocation work, formation of the sisters and parish ministry. The love for Jesus in the Eucharist is central to the spirituality of her Institute, which is devoted to the Sacred Heart.
