I am NRVC


Sister Kim Xuan Nguyen C.C.V.I.  is a chiropractor. But now, instead of, "Where does it hurt?" she may be more likely to ask, “What brings you joy?” She is the vocation minister for the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word in Houston. She’s also the Southwest Area Coordinator of the NRVC.

How long have you been a vocation minister?

I’m in my third year.

What has helped you with this  ministry?

The NRVC has been very helpful to me as I’ve begun my role as a vocation director, a new experience for me. The workshops—such as orientation, ethics, and behavioral assessment—have significantly contributed to my personal, spiritual, and educational development. Additionally, conferences and gatherings like the NRVC convocation and Talk It Up Tuesdays have fostered a sense of community, offering opportunities to connect, share experiences, and learn.

What do you do for fun?

I enjoy walking in nature, gardening, hiking, and traveling. 

Can you share a fun fact about yourself?

I am an entertainer at heart. The sisters often call upon me to provide entertainment. Along with other young-at-heart sisters, I write and perform rap songs, skits, and more. We dress up for Halloween and bring candies to our elderly sisters, adding joy and fun to our community life.
