Sister Isabella (Bella) Davila, DC, LMSW, has been a Daughter of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul for six years. She holds a Bachelor’s in Social Work from Niagara University, as well as a Master of Social Work and a certificate in Non-Profit Leadership from LaSalle University. Currently, she is a Licensed Social Worker in the state of Georgia.
Sister Bella has spent most of her career serving in ministries for persons with developmental disabilities and with adults experiencing homelessness. These ministries have taken place in St. Louis, MO; Philadelphia, PA; Kenya, Africa; and now Macon, GA. Currently, she is the manager of the DePaul USA Sheridan Respite Center. Sr. Bella was raised with her 5 siblings, including her identical twin sister, in Upstate New York. In her free time, she enjoys game nights with her Religious Sisters, running, praying, and fishing.
“Sister Bella Davila embodies the values at the heart of our Honor Code: honesty, respect, responsibility, and service,” said Emily Brown, Upper School Head at Mount de Sales Academy. “Her vocation as a Daughter of Charity and her years of ministry to those experiencing homelessness reflect a deep commitment to living with integrity and putting faith into action. We are grateful to have her encourage our students to embrace honor as both a school expectation and a lifelong commitment to truth, trust, and moral courage.”
We look forward to welcoming Sister Bella to campus to share her lessons learned with the students.
