Help us remember our Sisters by sharing a story about a Sister who touched your life, or making a gift in their honor.
When she was missioned to the newly-opened Bishop Kearney High School in Rochester in the fall of 1963, she began 20 years of teaching math, a subject she loved at a school. She earned a M.A. in Math from Georgetown University in 1965 and another from the University of Detroit in 1970.
Sister Mary Anita was a woman of many talents; she was especially musical. She was a long-time member of the Handel Choir of Baltimore. She was kind, friendly, and helpful. Always positive, she enjoyed questioning and sharing opinions with others.
Sister Mary Trinitas was a brilliant woman. Popular with students, she was a remarkable teacher and colleague. She stood up for equality and was an advocate for women. A smile on her face, she could be totally absorbed in a jigsaw puzzle. Her tender side was revealed in her faithfulness to family and a close relationship with her nephews.
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!
