She moved to the United States with the order in the 1960’s where she helped establish the school, Our Lady of Divine Providence. She continued to serve this parish with compassion as an educator, a religious counselor, a spiritual supporter and confidante. It was her mission to bring the Light of Christ to everyone she met. Gina taught in the New Orleans area for over 55 years.
