Help us remember our Sisters by sharing a story about a Sister who touched your life, or making a gift in their honor.
SIster Stephania spent 50 years of her life at Bishop Kearney High School. She had many ministries there as a teacher and assistant campus minister. Of these years she wrote, “I treasure the time I spent with teachers and students.” She was also a tutor at Notre Dame Learning Center, a sponsored ministry of the Atlantic Midwest province.
For two wonderful years, Betty became more and more involved in parish activities and teaching religious education. She said, “It was then that I realized that God was calling me, not only to the Catholic faith, but also to religious life.”
One former student commented, “Sister Margaret Ann inspired me to be a better reader and to speak properly at all times. She always had these really funny sayings that have stayed with me over the years.”
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!
