In Memoriam
In high school she was part of a group of students privileged to help Father Mark de Coste, CSsR, with his Apostolate to the Deaf. They were taught sign language, and on one Sunday each month stood on the steps leading to the sanctuary and signed Father’s conference and the hymns for the service.
Inspired by her childhood Sunday School teacher, Sister Mary Ellen, Georganne “felt the desire to be like her someday.” After over 50 years as a teacher, she and her dear friend Sister Catherine Goodell were awarded The Lux in Tenebris Award from St. Thomas Aquinas HS.
Marie Dolores was 18 when she entered the School Sisters of Notre Dame in Baltimore; she and four of her five sisters were SSNDs. Sister Marie Dolores ministered as a teacher for more than three decades in Catholic schools.
"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
