Help us remember our Sisters by sharing a story about a Sister who touched your life, or making a gift in their honor.
Sister Kathleen spent over 25 years at St. Jane Frances de Chantal School and parish, in Riviera Beach, Maryland. She loved people and sharing her gifts with them. She had a great wit and helped others feel at ease. When anyone visited her to catch up on her recent doings, the conversation would take a turn around with her question: “What’s new in your world?” We remember and give thanks for Kathleen's generous spirit among us.
Sister Ellen spent 29 years as a teacher, and then moved into healthcare. She became a Home Health Aide and then a Licensed Practical Nurse. She especially loved providing home care, geriatrics, and therapeutic recreation. Sister Peg Regan said at her Wake, “She went beyond what was required and helped heal spirits as well as bodies. Ellen treated everyone with kindness and a listening ear and would bring meals to needy patients.” May Sister Ellen rest in peace.
Inspired by her work and the influence of Vatican II, Sister Carol spent many years inspiring renewal in lay groups and was personally deeply fulfilled by it. Later in life, she developed a gift for watercolor, producing many lovely pictures, especially landscapes, most accompanied by her verses. We remember and give thanks for Carol's generous spirit among us.
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!
