Sad news about our beloved Sister Agnes (Rose Eileen) McKeirnan's passing

(September 6, 2011)

We are so sorry to bring you the sad news about our beloved Sister (Rose Eileen) Agnes McKeirnan's passing. Sister passed away peacefully to her Heavenly Father at about 1.30 p.m. on September 5, 2011.

Sister would be 102 on October 1, 2011. Sister Agnes was not sick but since the beginning of July this year, Sister became weaker and weaker physically and needed oxygen to breathe. On Monday, her breathing became shallower and shallower. At last, her breathing stopped and she went back to God peacefully. Let us pray for the repose of her soul.

The week before, some former students from both MSS and MCS visited Sister and Cynthia Pon (MCS 1978) came all the way from Washington, DC to be with Sister for the whole weekend -- day and night Cynthia was at Sister's bedside.

Arrangements for Wake, Funeral and (Memorial Service in Hong Kong) are pending.

In memory of Sister Agnes, if you wish you might want to send a check payable to Maryknoll Sisters in lieu of flowers. If so, please address the envelope to Sister Teresa Leung, Alumnae Office, Maryknoll Sisters Center, P.O. Box 311, Maryknoll, NY 10545-0311. And Sister Teresa shall email you to acknowledge receipt. Or you may wish to donate on our web site: www.maryknollsisters.org.

Let us pray for one another at this period of grief and sorrow for losing our beloved Sister Agnes.

8th Worldwide Reunion in 2014 with Toronto as hosting chapter

Dear Maryknollers,

During our 7th WWR celebration dinner on February 21, Maryknollers voted to have the next reunion in Vancouver. Unfortunately, they are not able to do this and asked the Toronto Chapter to take it. Toronto graciously replied "yes". To make the celebration more meaningful, the Toronto girls asked to co-celebrate their Chapter's 30th Anniversary and the WWR in 2014. I support this decision and know that you too will understand that circumstances have changed our original plans.

Sr Jeanne

Please watch out for future announcements of details.
