Help us remember our Sisters by sharing a story about a Sister who touched your life, or making a gift in their honor.
Sister Lucy had a love for sports organizing many teams, she said. “I realize how much sports can contribute to a child’s maturing process,” In May 1976, she appeared with nine other SSNDs who were “Named Outstanding Elementary Teachers of America.”
Described as “the kind of Sister you wanted to live with,” Sister Marie Michelle was affectionately nicknamed “Mitch” by her companion Sisters. Quiet and unassuming, always pleasant, always grateful, she was the gentlest of souls and was loved by her Sisters.
On July 16, 1947, Mary Ann became Sister Mary Prudentius, a name she had requested in honor of her beloved grandmother. She was professed on August 3, 1948, and missioned to St. Rita School in Brooklyn.
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!
