Help us remember our Sisters by sharing a story about a Sister who touched your life, or making a gift in their honor.
Carmen was a dedicated educator, a gifted teacher and an administrator who challenged her students to be the best. She was very caring and an excellent role model for her students. An outstanding communicator, she was able to provide both the teacher and administrator’s viewpoint, and her students were confident in the advice she gave.
SIster Stephania spent 50 years of her life at Bishop Kearney High School. She had many ministries there as a teacher and assistant campus minister. Of these years she wrote, “I treasure the time I spent with teachers and students.” She was also a tutor at Notre Dame Learning Center, a sponsored ministry of the Atlantic Midwest province.
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.”
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!
