Help us remember our Sisters by sharing a story about a Sister who touched your life, or making a gift in their honor.
Her kindness to the Sisters she transported and companioned to appointments was very much appreciated. In 1995, she served at the Generalate in Rome as driver and sacristan for several months.
Love Gives Everything was lived by Sister Joyce. A few years ago she wrote, “As a SSND I find strength and courage to live my vows from day-to-day in union with my faithful companions and friends, Jesus and Mary, through listening and openness in prayer.”
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 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!
