Sister Jeanne Marie Vonder Haar, ASCJ

Jeanne Marie Vonder Haar.jpgToday is a red letter day in history with the birthday of Sister Jeanne Marie Vonder Haar, an Apostle of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and a dear friend.

Like many of the Apostles I know, Sister Jeanne Marie lives the order's motto: the Love of Christ Urges us.... A striking example of this is Sister Jeanne Marie's dedication (for decades) to the formation of young people in the obedience of elementary education. The companionship she shares was also striking today at a funeral of the father of one of the Apostles: nearly 75 of the sisters were present offer their sympathies and prayerful solidarity to Sister Barbara Matazaro and family.
