My name is Sister Barbara Kolesar and I have been asked to write a little about my life as a Dominican
Sister during this Year of Consecrated Life. Hope you can enjoy it.
When I was growing up, I was fortunate to have wonderful parents who gave me such good example of the
importance of Mass and of helping others. We didn’t have a car until I was a senior in high school so we
walked three miles to get to Church and three miles back in rain, show, or shine. (No, it wasn’t uphill both
ways!!!) It was so special to me that I wouldn’t dream of missing Mass unless I was really sick. I thank my
parents for giving me this great example and also for helping me to love the Rosary.
I have been a Dominican Sister professed for 54 years and have thoroughly enjoyed my life. When I was
growing up we did not have a Catholic School yet so I went to a public school for my first three grades.
Then we had a Catholic School built in time for me to go to the fourth to eighth grades. The Dominican
Sisters came to teach us and I loved them right from the start. By the way, my fourth and sixth grade
teachers are still active. When I was in the sixth grade, three of the girls in my class had the privilege of
helping the Sisters iron the Sister’s habits during the noon recess one day a week. I thoroughly enjoyed this
and looked forward to doing it every week. When I came back to my classroom one day, there was a holy
card with the face of Christ on it. On the back it said, “You I mean, You I seek, You, yes you, I love you.”
I knew that day in the sixth grade that I was going to be a Dominican Sister when I finished High School.
I couldn’t wait to come to Columbus and begin my formation to be a Dominican Sister. I began by being
a Postulant. During these months I was learning how the Sisters lived and prayed. Then on July 8,1959, I
became a Novice and received the long white habit and a white veil. It was a challenge each day to learn
as much as I could about learning to live my life as a Dominican Sister. I learned how to meditate and pray
the Divine Office each day. Then the big moment came one year later on July 9, 1960 when I made my
First Profession of Vows. I now got to wear the black veil. Both of my brothers got to serve that Mass and
help the Bishop hand us our new habits. My Mom and Dad were there for the ceremony and were proud
and very happy for me in my new life.
After many college classes, I was ready to go out on the mission to teach the children in the First Grade. I
have taught children in the First, Second and Third Grades for thirty-five years and loved every minute of
it. I taught school in Connecticut, Michigan and Ohio. Then I was asked by Father Grimes in 2001 to come
and work in Our Lady of Peace Parish. I agreed and have enjoyed working in every aspect of parish life
for these many years.
Many of you see me going down the aisle to set up the altar for Mass, or to find a Server, Extraordinary
Minister or Lector to help. Sometimes you see me as a Cantor, Lector or an Extraordinary Minister of the
Eucharist. These are a very special part of my life. I help with the RCIA Program, the Advent and Lenten
Scripture Sharing Sessions, the Funeral Ministry, and I help train the Servers, Lectors and Extraordinary
Ministers. I am also one of the Wedding Coordinators. I am a member of the Liturgy Committee, Art and
Environment Committee and a member of our Parish Council. I also teach a Baptism class for the parents
who will be having their children Baptized. I work with the students who will be reading at our school
Masses and help the teachers by helping to plan the Masses. It is a joy to know that I am helping others.
This makes me happy. I guess I get this from my parent’s example when I was growing up.
Why do I get up in the morning? Yes, I do want five more minutes of sleep sometimes but for the most part,
I pop out of bed and look forward to what the dear Lord has in store for me each day. It is never boring. The
Lord keeps putting things out there for me to do each day. That keeps life very interesting. I am thankful for
the fifty-four happy years of religious life that I have enjoyed. If I had to do it over again, would I choose this
life? YES, in a heartbeat. I hope this will help you to know me a little better in this Year of Consecrated Life.
I hope and pray that many of you who are reading this article will start thinking about becoming a priest,
deacon or a sister. We really need more vocations to keep our church flourishing in the future. Think
seriously about it. Listen to see if the dear Lord is calling you. It is a very happy life and the rewards are out
of this world. God bless you.

Some of the questions to be
answered in this workshop:
Why are so many people
saying human trafficking is
related to prostitution?
What are the RED FLAGS
and warning signs of human
trafficking?
How can I protect the
women and girls I know
from being preyed upon?
What can I do to fight
human trafficking?
May the Lord show mercy to the household of
Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me
and was not ashamed of my chains.
