Doing Good in the Community
|
|
Sister Nancy Miller, a member of The Sisters of St. Francis of Penance and Christian Charity and a tutor at Ready, is always on the lookout for ways to help improve the lives of others. In the past, she undertook a major project to oversee the construction of a playground for children in the neighborhood where she lives. This past year, she was concerned about her neighborhood children not having adequate shelter from the elements and a safe place to wait for their school bus on a busy road with “blind spots” that made the wait hazardous. In her own inimitable fashion, Sister Nancy contacted Mount Carmel-St. Ann’s Hospital (originally founded by her order) who generously donated an unused bus shelter they had and then the work began: Sister Nancy went “through the hoops” of navigating permits and approvals, and finding the money and labor to install a concrete base and the shelter itself. Needless to say, the shelter was installed on November 27, thanks to the Limbach Company and Turner Construction, and the additional generosity of Mount Carmel-St. Ann’s; a blessing was held on December 14.
Sister Nancy continues to be an inspiration to all at Bishop Ready, with her “can-do” attitude, unshakeable faith in God, and her ability to see a need and work to fill it…simply fulfilling “her mission” here on earth!
