Sr. Kathleen McGuire and Companions Honored on the 20th Anniversary of their Martyrdom


On a very momentous Sunday, we honored the 20th anniversary of the martyrdom of five Adorers of the Blood of Christ from the motherhouse in Ruma: our own Sr. Kathleen McGuire, Sr. Agnes Mueller, Sr. Barbara Ann Muttra, and cousins Sisters Mary Joel Kolmer and Shirley Kolmer. It was also the day of the canonization of our patroness, St. Kateri Tekakwitha, and the date St. Kateri parish was officially established. Kathleen and Kateri are the Irish and Mohawk variants of the same name... thanks be to Providence for arranging things so beautifully.
