On Sunday, April 28th, Divine Mercy Sunday, we gathered here at St. Clare Chapel and had the privilege to celebrate the Jubilees of four of our sisters, who collectively have given 270 years to God and the people of God over the decades. We praise God’s faithfulness in the life of: Sr. Betty Igo, who despite being prepared to be a medical technologist, devoted most of her years to pastoral ministry and healing prayer. Sr. Mary Maloney, our world traveling Sister, has served in Brazil, pioneered our presence in Senegal, and coordinated a soup kitchen and a residence for homeless young mothers in New York for over 20 years.

Sr. Ann Cecile Albers has done it all including being a dietitian, a nurse, manager of a homeless shelter, being challenged in leadership and now serving as the Coordinator of St. Clare Campus. We are extremely honored to be witness to the incredible lives of these incredible Sisters. We are ever thankful to God for their lives and daily celebrate who they are with us.
