Sister Jessica Kerber, ACJ

Sister Jessica Kerber entered with the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus 13 years ago, after serving with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps and later meeting the Sisters on a mission trip in El Salvador. After professing her first vows, she completed her philosophy and theology studies at the Jesuit Pontifical University in Madrid, where she also studied about the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius as well as accompaniment.  She has served as the Director of Religious Education at Ancillae-Assumpta Academy, and now complements her ministry at St. Raphaela’s with campus ministry at St. Joseph’s University and as an adjunct theology teacher at Villanova, and finds great joy and grace in accompanying young adults in spiritual direction, especially through the Spiritual Exercises.
