Pray With Us
This year, 2020, we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day and the 5th Anniversary of Pope Francis’ encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si. Both anniversaries call us to focus our attention and care on our common home, Earth, and to make meaningful and sustainable responses to her...
We offer the following prayers, reflections and resources as a source of encouragement and support.
In Memoriam
In her junior year of high school, Jenny decided on her vocation, even though she had little contact with SSND outside of religion classes, and she expected a negative reaction from her mother.
Mary Lou Fish, former Sister and beloved SSND Associate, went home to God on July 4, 2020. She left behind long-lasting memories of the blessing that she was to so many people.
Her kindness to the Sisters she transported and companioned to appointments was very much appreciated. In 1995, she served at the Generalate in Rome as driver and sacristan for several months.
"Prayer is true heavenly food and nourishment for the soul, which will starve without it. It is a remedy for the sick who desire to recover again, joy for the afflicted, strength for the weak, medicine for sinners, delight for the just, mutual support for the entire church.”
-BLESSED THERESA GERHARDINGER
