This date was the 30th anniversary of the beginning of the Sisters of Life, a community which was founded by Cardinal O’Connor at our motherhouse, Marycrest, in Monroe, NY. Bishop Edmond Whelan offered a special anniversary Mass for them, preceded by a Holy Hour and fellowship. After the Mass the two communities had a festive meal together.
Two Parish Visitors were formation directors for the Sisters of Life during their first year, while the Sisters of Life lived at our motherhouse before moving to the Bronx. One of the photos pictures shows Sr. Rita-Mairelenes, one of the formation directors, with some of the Sisters.
