Celebrating
Sister Maria
This
past Saturday, members of our community
attended the funeral of a dear friend of many
years and the eldest member (age 94) of the
Dominican Sisters of Mount Thabor in
Ortonville. The Liturgy was a special
occasion and opportunity to thank the Lord for
the gift that Sr. Maria Maez of the Blessed
Sacrament, O.P. has been for her community as
well as her family and friends (including
us). Sister was known for her positive
attitude which sprung from her devotion to the
Lord and His Blessed Mother. This was
likely key in enabling her to persevere in her
vocation for over 72 years! The main
celebrant of the Mass was the monastery
chaplain, Fr. Roger Knapp and remembrances
were offered by members of her community and
family. Sr. Maria will be greatly
missed, but her influence and inspiration will
always be alive in those whom she had touched
during her time here with us!
