Today was the day of Sister Victorine's funeral. She was Kathy's first cousin and she passed away at age 94. She has been a nun nearly all her life having entered the convent in 1941. She celebrated 75 years of her vocation in 2017. She was one of ten children - three brothers and six sisters, two of whom were also nuns. The funeral was impressive. The bishop of Syracuse, and the bishop of Ogdensburg were scheduled to officiate. Because of the snowstorm, the Syracuse bishop was unable to make it to Watertown. But there were more priests on the altar than I have ever seen before, and the bishop of Ogdensburg gave a wonderful homily celebrating Sister Victorine's life. We were so glad we could be here to celebrate her life with family and friends.
