Every few days throughout the COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic currently gripping our nation and world, our Sisters will share anecdotes and spiritual tidings with our families, friends, alumnae and benefactors. We hope these messages will help to nurture a sense of solace in these trying times.
The Lord is Risen, Alleluia!, and He is With Us
On this magnificent Easter Day, may you experience the presence of the Risen Lord, filling your hearts and home with His love and peace.
Inspirational Words from Our Sisters
"The Resurrection is not ancient history. Christ ROSE from the dead, and he is RISEN ... forever ... and is still with us. Even in the pandemic." 
- Sister Nancy Celaschi

"The coronavirus pandemic has given me the opportunity to reflect more deeply than ever before on the universality of the Church and how connected we all are as the Body of Christ. Let’s pray for each other always and live like those who are full of hope!"
- Sister Elaine Hromulak

"May the beautiful Easter stories in the scripture be very consoling and speak to your hearts. There is no Church we can go to, but in our present experience, our HOME has become our Church. May the most profound teaching of our Faith fill you with great Joy!"
- Sister Georgette Dublino
Through Challenge We Must Endure
"On the first Easter morning, the women went to the tomb to anoint the body of Jesus. They kept wondering among themselves, "Who will roll away the stone for us?" This concern did not stop them from their journey. When they got there, they were stunned to see the stone rolled away and the risen Jesus before them. They were women of faith. Let all us continue our daily journey, believing that this present day "stone" -- the coronavirus -- will one day be rolled away, as we keep our eyes fixed on our Risen Jesus, the "cornerstone" of our lives."
- Sister Marie Therese Sherwood
