Having been an SNJM Associate since 1993 has deepened an already existing devotion to, and admiration for Mother Marie Rose. She is my spiritual Mother, guiding me in my actions, and accompanying me in my life. Her kindness, steadfast determination, and fervent love for Jesus and Mary have been a personal inspiration. I am imbued with her sense of social justice and willingness to serve, as I navigate my life. Her example strengthened in me the desire to be of service. Of most importance to me is the responsibility of all SNJM’s, vowed and lay, to perpetuate the legacy of the charism and spirituality of MMR by example and through education. Mother Marie Rose is embodied in all Holy Names Sisters who have been a source of support and positive role models for me.
