At the age of eighteen, she entered the Institute of the Religious Teachers Filippini in Morristown, NJ.  After completing her formation and education she taught elementary and high school science.   After receiving her doctorate from Columbia University in Nutrition and Public Health, she worked at Memorial Sloane Kettering Cancer Center in New York.  In 1994 Sister was appointed Secretary to Mother General and Mission Office Director for the Institute in Rome, Italy. 

As Mission Office Director she has helped single mothers, women and girls at risk, and orphans.  She has helped develop programs to aid the Child Headed Households, i.e. brothers and sisters left orphaned by HIV/AIDS, a work which now has become a priority for the Institute.  Her experiences in Albania, Brazil, Ethiopia, Eritrea and India inspired the writing of the book, Aids Orphans Rising.  She is working not only to provide God’s love, food, clothing, and an education for the children but most of all to give these children a future of peace.

It is in recognition of her service to the Church and children, that the Path to Peace Foundation is pleased to bestow upon Sr. Mary Elizabeth Llyod, MPF, the title Servitor Pacis, “Servant of Peace.”
