25th Jubilee
“Just to be is Holy. All shall be Well”. I first heard these words from Sister Mary Eileen Hare, CSJ, while on a retreat at the Carondelet Center for Spirituality. She became my mentor in formation for Association. I made my first commitment September, 1998. I was educated by the Sisters at Rosati-Kain High School, worked as an RN at St Joseph’s Hospital in Kirkwood, MO, was co-director of association with Sister Maureen Streitmiller, and belong to an associate group meeting at Nazareth Living Center. I am celebrating 50 years of marriage to Bill this August 2022. I am a grandparent of 13 grandchildren, aged 2 months to 21 years. The Dear Sisters have been woven into my life of ministry, prayer, and spirituality.
