In Memoriam

Sister Mary Ann Tantalo
On July 16, 1947, Mary Ann became Sister Mary Prudentius, a name she had requested in honor of her beloved grandmother. She was professed on August 3, 1948, and missioned to St. Rita School in Brooklyn.
Sister Julita taught first-grade students for thirty-one years! Always very devoted to small children, Julita authored two publications for them, "The Poor Little Rich Man" and "The Little Flower of Jesus."
Having been taught a great devotion to the Blessed Mother, I made a promise to Our Lady that I would give my life to God if she would bring my brothers home safely from the war.

"Prayer is true heavenly food and nourishment for the soul, which will starve without it. It is a remedy for the sick who desire to recover again, joy for the afflicted, strength for the weak, medicine for sinners, delight for the just, mutual support for the entire church.”
