In Loving Memory of Sr. Lorraine O'Neil,osu

1918 - May 2009
It is with a strong faith and great appreciation that we reflect on the life of Sr. Lorraine. She was happy in her ministries, enjoyed the children she taught, helped many less fortunate in her Outreach Program and found peace and love in her Prayer Group Meetings. May she enjoy her Eternal Reward.
On July 8,2009 the Sisters and Associates joined with the Torre family to celebrate Sr. Marguerite's Birthday. In the evening they were the guests of Manager Joe Torre at the game between the Mets and Dodgers....
Ooops, the METS won!
The Ursuline Associate Team recently hosted a Come and See Tea in Oxford CT. About 30 men and women attended from West Haven, Meriden, Oxford and Danbury.
The purpose of the gathering was to acquaint the group with St. Angela Merici as a woman for all times.
The group listened attentively as sisters and associates spoke of their personal convictions and love of Angela.
Slides, prayer and a social rounded out the afternoon.
