In Memoriam

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!

- You Are Sent, Constitution of the School Sisters of Notre Dame
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.
Sister Claire Marie was a member of SSND for 65 years. She taught grade school, and worked in pastoral counseling and spiritual direction throughout her career. She also served the congregation with dedication, serving on the provincial council and many other ministries including the provincial chapter, general chapter (1982), and interprovincial spirituality committee. We thank S Claire, may God welcome her home.
At all her varied missions, English and Spanish speaking, Lillian’s spirit of love and her joy made her much loved. She longed to be with Jesus.” Her best friend, Sister Carol Dwyer, wrote of her, “Her gifts of sensitivity, intuition, attunement to the nudging of the Holy Spirit, and her care and interest in the wellbeing of the other made her a powerful presence in her ministries.”
