It was on Jan. 29, 1944, that Sister Mary Stella made her first monastic profession with the congregation. She is a senior member of the Tucson, Ariz., community.
"She is an inspiration to all of us," Tucson Prioress Sister Ramona Varela, OSB said.
Also, on Feb. 9, the Diocese of Tucson recognized all the jubilarians in their area. This included Sister Lenora Black, OSB and Sister Mary Joy Heinlein, OSB who will celebrate their 60th jubilees of monastic profession this year. |
