Daughters of Wisdom. US Delegation, Jubilee 2024

Sisters, Associates, family, and friends came together on Saturday, July 27, 2024, to celebrate our annual Jubilarians, our Sisters who have reached significant milestones in their profession. Some reached it in February of this year (2nd), and others just this month (2nd). It was a beautiful display of our unity and support for each other and gratefulness for the ministries our Sisters have had. Fr. Tom Poth, SMM, and Fr. Luigi Gritti, SMM, who was visiting from Italy, presided over the Mass at Montfort Spirituality Center in Bay Shore, NY. Sr. Evelyn Eckhardt, DW, shared a reflection, and five Daughters of Wisdom and one Associate of Wisdom renewed their vows before Delegation Leader Sr. Catherine Sheehan and the congregants. This year, we are proud to celebrate Associate Maryse Haig (88) for 25 years of service, and we honor the ministries of Sr. Ann Nielsen (90), 70 Years; Sr. Agnes McColgan (90), 70 Years; Sr. Evelyn Eckhardt (79), 60 Years; Sr. Rosemarie Greco (81), 60 Years; and Sr. Maureen Hurley (92), 60 Years.
Congratulations!
The Daughters of Wisdom, an international congregation of Catholic women religious, are called in community to seek and contemplate Divine Wisdom in a world that hungers for meaning, justice, and compassion. We strive to bring the message of Jesus, Incarnate Wisdom, to people experiencing injustice, violence, poverty, and oppression, especially women and children.
