Pray With Us
The United States has been called to a National Day of Prayer amid the coronavirus crisis. Let us together turn to prayer for an end to this virus and for all the poor of our world who are most impacted by this crisis.
Our provincial elections, scheduled to take place this week in Chicago, have been postponed due to concerns about our Sisters traveling, after the CDC suggested that persons older than 70 stay close to home until the virus has been contained.
Spend time praying outside to appreciate creation as a gift from God, sacred in its own right. Say a rosary or listen to how God is speaking to you through creation.
In Memoriam
Sister Estelle died at Notre Dame Convent, Waterdown, Canada, on March 7, 2020, 17 days after her 104th birthday. She was in her 83rd year as a SSND.
Membership in the Legion of Mary inspired her devotion, and she prayed unceasingly for guidance and courage. In 1962, “Our Lady really directed me right to her Son and herself, to the SSNDs at Wilton.”
Doris was a woman of quick wit and gentle teasing, tempered with a warm heart. She was at her best when she could minister to those in need. Sister Doris died suddenly on Feb. 4, 2020 at Villa Assumpta.
"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
