During her early years of her ministry she was known as Sister M. Isabel.

She taught, mostly in the primary grades, in Missouri, Louisiana and Texas. In the late seventies Sister served the community in Rome. She taught in Mississippi schools at St. Theresa in Jackson, St. Francis in Brookhaven and was principal of the school in Laurel. Sister Christine was a pastoral assistant in Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Dangerfield, Texas.
From this last assignment Sister Christine came to St. Mary of the Pines in 1992. Here until the time of her death, as her health would allow, she contributed to the many community activities and services.
