Help us remember our Sisters by sharing a story about a Sister who touched your life, or making a gift in their honor.
Sister Grace's love for SSND and the Wilton Province came through strongly in all she contributed to through the years:... all were carried out with her unique wit, good humor, and obvious enjoyment.
Sister Mary taught at many schools in New York City and Long Island from 1959 until 1996. With her dry sense of humor, Mary had a good rapport with others and her many students recall her with love.
When she returned to Connecticut in 2005, Claire became a part-time Hospice Nurse with Norwalk Hospice. Her work as a nurse, and her faithfulness to Weight Watchers, made her many friends in the area. Community service at Villa Notre Dame, especially driving, became Claire’s final gift to her Sisters.
In death, we say our ultimate human yes to God. Trusting in God’s power to bring us to the fullness of life, we conclude our earthly life with an act of worship: in the action of death we proclaim God as God, and ourselves as God’s creatures. We are called by God and sent by the community; we go in joy!
