About Sister Ines Schlathölter: As a member of the German Province of the Hospital Sisters of St. Francis, I served in various nursing capacities. I transferred my membership to the American Province of the Hospital Sisters of St. Francis in 2003 and have shared my knowledge about spirituality and formation with those I serve. I am grateful to my parents who taught me to show respect, dignity, and compassion to everyone — this is meaningful as I minister to immigrants and refugees in St. Louis.
