Our Beloved Sr. Mary Lancaster went to be with our Lord on Friday, October 23rd, 2020 at St. Joseph’s convent in Haslemere, England. She was 91 years old & was in the 68th year of her religious life with the Daughters of the Cross. She was loved by many here & in her community. Many of us were touched by her and her love of Christ through her Adult Education classes during her time at St. Bernard’s. Please keep her & the Daughters of the Cross in your prayers. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen
