Over the past 150 years this school has yielded tremendous fruit in the women who are proud to call NDP their alma mater.

These are women and men who have encountered the Lord and who have committed themselves to advancing the mission of the Church, especially the mission of bringing the Good News of Salvation to young and old alike, to peers and co-workers, to the unchurched, the perplexed, the poor and vulnerable.

All around us are the fonts of mercy – the confessional, the altar, ministries of mercy.

So just as these widows reflect the light of Christ, so too may we, as individuals and as a church community, reflect ever more brightly, the glory of God shining on the face of Christ, to the glory of God’s Name and for the salvation of souls.

Just as my Mom taught me the value of correction, so too does Mother Church teach us the value and importance of correction – the correction to which each of us, myself included, must submit ourselves, but also the fraternal correction which should be practiced in the Church’s life.

We pray that Mom is reunited with Dad and Frankie and her parents and loved ones, but most of all that she beholds her Vindicator face to face in the halls of heaven.

The work of formation is ongoing and demanding, yet it is always an adventure of grace.
