Spirituality and Prayer

Pray With Us

The trade in human persons constitutes a shocking offense against human dignity and a grave violation of fundamental human rights. … Such situations are an affront to fundamental values which are shared by all cultures and peoples, values rooted in the very nature of the human person.

In Memoriam

Sister Mary Constance was named in honor of a beloved aunt and professed her vows on July 27, 1963.  Connie was a great friend. Her demeanor was inviting. She always had time for others, as evidenced by her many good friends.
When she was five, Mary Helen started first grade at St. Francis School in Union City, New Jersey. She wrote, “At first I was afraid of the ladies dressed in black and white, learning later that they were sisters…
Sister Evelyn enjoyed her 80th Jubilee celebration with family and friends in May 2018. Pauline had a great love of nature, delighting in the animals, birds, and flowers. As a youngster, she desired to be a sister and professed her vows in 1938.

"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.”
