Help us remember our Sisters by sharing a story about a Sister who touched your life, or making a gift in their honor.
Two months after her 100th birthday, Sister Rosie said her final yes to God. A native New Yorker, she reminisced about going to the lower East Side in the mid-1930s, where she was inspired by meeting Dorothy Day. Her life long ministry was in helping those with special needs.
In her junior year of high school, Jenny decided on her vocation, even though she had little contact with SSND outside of religion classes, and she expected a negative reaction from her mother.
Mary Lou Fish, former Sister and beloved SSND Associate, went home to God on July 4, 2020. She left behind long-lasting memories of the blessing that she was to so many people.
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!
