Help us remember our Sisters by sharing a story about a Sister who touched your life, or making a gift in their honor.
"On a cold winter morning, January 21, 1929, in the little mining town of Blossburg, PA., God gave life to a little girl of Catholic parents.” That little girl, youngest of the nine children of Stanley Peter and Helen Marchinack Jerzak, was named Marion Agnes.
The first and only daughter of Charles and Helen Gossard Mullenix was born on November 19, 1926 in Hagerstown, MD. Her baptismal name was Margaret Louise, but she was known as Peggy. Two boys, Edward and James, soon “joined this happy family circle,” Peggy wrote in her autobiography.
Sister Earl Mary Moores died peacefully on November 17, 2017, at Lourdes Health Care Center in Wilton, Conn. She was 80 years old and had been a member of the School Sisters of Notre Dame for 60 years.
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!
