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 Maureen Michael reflected that she lived “an ordinary life in an extraordinary way.” A gifted artist and dedicated SSND, Her calm, non-threatening manner gave adults and children the opportunity to create art that expressed feeling and developed spiritual growth. She touched many as she inspired and encouraged them to follow their hearts.
One of her outstanding gifts was her ability to teach. From middle school students to college students, her teaching skills and academic competence inspired her students to succeed. She also introduced young women to religious life, women who caught her God-centered spirit are living religious life fully, and women whom she helped to discern another path will always hold her in deep friendship.
Sister Grace's love for SSND and the Wilton Province came through strongly in all she contributed to through the years:... all were carried out with her unique wit, good humor, and obvious enjoyment.
