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!

For two wonderful years, Betty became more and more involved in parish activities and teaching religious education. She said, “It was then that I realized that God was calling me, not only to the Catholic faith, but also to religious life.”
Sister Margaret Curtin
One former student commented, “Sister Margaret Ann inspired me to be a better reader and to speak properly at all times.  She always had these really funny sayings that have stayed with me over the years.”
Sister Estelle died at Notre Dame Convent, Waterdown, Canada, on March 7, 2020, 17 days after her 104th birthday. She was in her 83rd year as a SSND.
