Pictured above from the early 1980s, Sister Amelia Lenz (1912–2014) answers the telephone at DePaul Health Center in Bridgeton, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis. A nurse, Sister Amelia served in New Orleans; Montgomery, Ala.; and for 22 years at the National Hansen’s Disease (previously known as Leprosy) Center in Carville, La. In 1979, Sister Amelia was missioned to serve as a front desk receptionist at DePaul Health Center and served there, first full-time and then part-time as a volunteer, for many years until she was 95 years of age.
