Sister Mary Catherine de Ricci of the Immaculate Heart was a remarkable sister and we will all miss her a lot. Here is a very brief retrospective of her life and times.
Sr. Mary Catherine entered the monastery on August 4, 1946. She made her first vows on August 15, 1948.
Sr. Mary Catherine served the community as printer, secretary, head of the Infant Jesus Guild, directress of novices, subprioress, and librarian.
Sister also served as first President of the Conference of Dominican Nuns in the USA (the forerunner of our present Association of Monasteries of Nuns of the Order of Preachers in the USA).
Sister will be remembered for her beautiful smile.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon her.
