In Memory of Sr. Sheila O’Friel, D.C.

We mourn the passing of a strong supporter and friend of the Ladies of Charity, Sister Sheila O’Friel, DC. Sister served as Vincentian Spiritual Moderator of the Board of LCUSA from 1999-2003.

Sr. Sheila O’Friel, DC, died Sunday at the convent in Emmitsburg, MD.

The Wake service is scheduled for Friday, May 3 at 7 pm
Villa St. Michael Chapel

The Funeral is scheduled for Saturday, May 4 at 11 am
Basilica of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
Emmitsburg, Maryland.

Please keep Sister Sheila and all the Daughters of Charity in your prayers.

Here is Sister Sheila in 2017 chatting with a resident at the senior housing facility in Emmitsburg. In an earlier post the Emmitsburg Ladies of Charity explained that they work alongside Daughters of Charity to carry on traditions given to them from Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton.

Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon her.
And may the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
