Remembering Sr. Attilia.

We will always remember our dear Sr. Attilia for her wondrous laughter and joy. She was awaiting this year's retreat with special anticipation. She loved the theme of the retreat, "With Jesus among the Lampstands," referring to the quote from Revelation. Though she is not here to make this retreat with her fellow sisters, we know that she is walking with Jesus now, and can intercede for us.

This is one of the first pictures of Sr. Attilia after she had made her religious profession. Sr. Attilia is in the second row, the first sister on the left. Many remarked at how much she resembled Mother Thecla, our Co-Foundress, who in this picture is seated in the front row in the middle.

Sr. Attilia shared her Golden Jubilee celebration with Sr. Natalie, a Sister Disciple of the Divine Master (another congregation in the Pauline Family). They had made their novitiate together in Rome 50 years ago, and both of them preserved the joy of following the Divine Master through five decades of religious life.
