Pray With Us
For all who have contracted coronavirus, we pray for care and healing. For those who are vulnerable, we pray for safety and protection.
For all who experience fear or anxiety, we pray for peace of mind and spirit.
These past months have been extremely difficult. The world finds itself in isolation, cut off from the touch of a warm embrace and bereft of the presence of one another.
In Memoriam
On a trip to Ethiopia in 1965, Sister Martin met Emperor Haile Selassie, and she wrote, “I was experiencing the continent [Africa] for the first time, and it really touched me… Someday SSND would be on that continent, and I wanted to be there, too.”
By February 1995, Mona began to minister in a particular way to God’s beloved at Good Counsel Homes, “a private Catholic Agency whose mission is to help homeless, pregnant women by providing a loving, family environment in a safe and secure shelter.”
Sister Mary was an outstanding grade school teacher, using her talents primarily with children in very poor areas in Chicago. She also served as Postulant Director in the Chicago Province from 1993 to 1998. Mary’s dry wit and clever greetings gave much delight to all who lived and worked with her.
"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
