The CTSA remembers and prays for longstanding member Sr. Agnes Cunningham, S.S.C.M.  who died yesterday, Wednesday, January 22.

Eternal rest grant unto Agnes, 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

    I think she was the first woman member of the CTSA.

    Agnes was a wonderful teacher, mentor, and colleague at the University of St. Mary of the Lake. She was always sensitive and caring, making connections and fostering relationships. I owe her a great debt for introducing me to the heritage of the early church.
