Pray With Us
O God of light and peace,
whose glory, shining in the child of Bethlehem,
still draws the nations to yourself:
bless us abundantly
Father of Jesus,
You who sent your angels to herald your Son’s coming with cries of peace,
Hear our cry now
That your peace may touch all corners of our world.

In Memoriam
Music was always important to Doris. While teaching at IND, she would get free opera tickets for her students so they could study the opera in class and then attend the performance. Sister Doris instilled a lifelong love of classical music and opera in her students.
Sister Hildie’s life and IND are forever intertwined. For over 60 years, Sister was the heart of IND. Hildie’s deep sense of service led her and Hildie’s Helpers, the IND student outreach program, to provide food and clothing to those in need.
Rose Mary was foremost a religious woman who became a teacher, writer, counselor and spiritual director. Her qualities of honesty and openness endeared her to others. Rose Mary was a woman of wisdom and gentle humility. She had a hunger for God and a deep sense of the spiritual.
"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.”
