Text Box: No wonder she couldn’t walk!   These amusing anecdotes are the very human side of a deeply prayerful heart.       Having artistic talent, Sr. Ann Miriam excelled in hand-crafted pictorial rugs made with wool she herself had dyed into 45 to 50 shades of color.  She would take a small print, such as a Courrier & Ives winter scene, and freehand magnify it into a 3’ x 4’ throw rug, hooked on burlap.

Text Box:  Looking at the merging of shades of color on the rug, one got the impression of an oil painting.      Over the years, Sr. Ann Miriam has given an example of contemplative prayer, devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, love for sacred scripture, and a “vocation within a vocation” to pray for priests.  Having a priest brother has made her deeply aware of the need to support our priests with prayer and sacrifice.  Fr. Joe Mills attributes much of the joy and fulfillment he has experienced in his priesthood to the prayers Sr. Ann Miriam has offered for him in her life as a Passionist.

Text Box:    Since 2001, Sister has experienced fail-ing health. In March Sister had a pace-maker installed, so her health has improved.  However, she chose to mark  her Golden Jubilee, by a small family celebration  rather than having a large public event.
