Sister Rita Waters and Associate Radie Roberts facilitate and nurture the spiritual connection between sisters and associates by fostering ongoing relationships through retreats, associate gatherings and service.

Radie is married to a fellow associate and has three children. She graduated from Clarke College (now Clarke University) with a degree in psychology and completed a year of service as a Holy Cross associate in Brockton, MA. She returned to Clarke to work as a campus minister for seven years and now divides her time between Seton School and the co-director position. Radie has been an associate for 12 years.

Sister Rita is a Sister of Mercy, so closely connected to Presentation mission, charism, values and spirituality, that she feels right at home in joining the Presentations as a Co-Director of the Associate Partnership. For the past ten years, Rita served on the Team for the Collaborative Leadership Development Program which guides and inspires Associates and younger members of Religious Life in developing and expanding leadership skills. Rita earned a BA from Mount Mercy College in Cedar Rapids, a Masters degree in Pastoral Studies from Loyola University in Chicago, and has a small private practice in Synergy, a body-oriented psychotherapy. She enjoys racquetball, pickleball, board games, camping and traveling.
