Help us remember our Sisters by sharing a story about a Sister who touched your life, or making a gift in their honor.
Please join us this Sunday, on the Feast of All Saints, to honor the 41 Sisters of our Province who have been called home to God since the first of this year. Let us gather in spirit with their spirits to remember their lives.
Soft spoken, petite and full of energy, Sister Xavier was especially talented in art and music. She was “a big sister” to the youngest of the Linz family, Sister Theresa Mary, SSND. Speaking of her vocation, Sister Xavier said, “I have tried to keep the rules and to progress toward my ideal of a good religious.”
Sister Dolores was a teacher and an excellent administrator. Her warm smile and sense of humor endeared her to others. She taught at the St. Mark School, and St. Mary School, and spent many years at NDP, NDMU and the Madonna School in Florida. Dolores was always a friendly face and an welcoming greeter at Villa Assumpta events.
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!
