Help us remember our Sisters by sharing a story about a Sister who touched your life, or making a gift in their honor.
Catherine Staab was received into the novitiate on July 16, 1947 and was given the name, Sister Mary Bernadetta.
Eileen Prior and her twin sister Theresa were born to John Prior and Mary Heslin, both from Co. Leitrim, Ireland, on May 9, 1931, and were baptized at St. Andrew the Apostle Church in Forest Hills, Massachusetts.
Maria Clara Gugger was born a twin on May 9, 1920, in the town of Widnau, in the Canton of St. Gallen, in Switzerland. She was baptized the next day in St. Jacobus parish church, the day her twin Pauline died.
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!
