The Ozanam community helped Sister Mary Teresia Spodnik celebrate 105 years recently.
For most of her long life, Sister Teresia has faithfully lived out her first expressed desire when she entered the SSND community, many years ago: "It is my desire with the grace of my Crucified Saviour to persevere in this state as a faithful and worthy member of the Community until death."
In solidarity, our Ozanam community prayed and celebrated with her.
The event was crowned by the presence of Sister Mary Fitzgerald, who was visiting us from Baltimore. Also present were our weekly visitors, Sisters Cathy Feeney and Bernadette Alfieri.
We all thank the good Lord for the wonderful gift of Teresia Spodnik!
