Bernadette Healy

Bernadette Healey was born in Galway, Ireland, the eldest among three brothers and one sister. After completing secondary school, she pursued training as a primary school teacher. During her teacher training, she felt a clear call to religious life, inspired by Nano Nagle's profound dedication to the poor. Following two years of formation, she returned to teaching in Huddersfield and Birmingham, where she worked among diverse cultures, including African Caribbean, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, African and Vietnamese families. Currently, she works in  pastoral ministry with Travellers, Gypsy and Roma people, extending outreach to marginalized communities.
