Help us remember our Sisters.
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!

Sister Frances taught mathematics and physics at schools in Wisconsin and Chicago from 1970 til 1983. She also worked at the Academy of Our Lady in Chicago and the Archdiocese of Chicago. In retirement Sister Frances continued inspiring those around her with her gentle and loving spirit. May God welcome her home.
Sister Maggie was a dedicated teacher focused on teaching math and reading in many schools, and eventually became a specialist in teaching reading to students who were struggling. She said, "With a slower pace and persistent work, I have seen a lot of formerly unsure children be able to read and do math.” May Sister Maggie rest in the arms of God.
Sister Miriam made learning easy with her songs and ditties, and is fondly remembered by all who knew her. She was committed to and successful in her long life of “Doing all the good that can be done," as stated at her homily by Presider John Mulreaney, S.J.
