“This week marks the end of the school year. It seems appropriate to pause and remember the young women who have given themselves to God in service to our school and parish. There are over a hundred daughters of Saint Mary’s who have entered the religious life, so only the earliest on record will be listed as exemplars. Pause today and say a prayer for all these special women and a prayer for vocations. The Sisters are listed by religious name, family name and date of birth.
