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 Bern touched the lives of many, she was deeply dedicated to ministry in pastoral care and bereavement. One of her innovative ideas was the introduction of pet therapy and she brought Newey and later Romper to Villa Assumpta and they gave comfort and joy to all! Blessed by her presence among us, may her boundless love continue to nurture and inspire us.
In her 69 years as a School Sister of Notre Dame, Sister Joseph Marie always had a compassionate heart and was ready to attend to the needs of others. She was an advocate of faith sharing, and a gifted teacher of music and singing.
Though she had always wanted to become a nun, her years at IND with the SSNDs were a time when “the seed God had planted in my soul was nourished and grew.”
