Condolences to the Moriarty Family during this time of great loss. Kate + Pat would travel out to Phoenix to visit and enjoy the sun. We miss her smile and great spirit. She is now resting in peace without pain. Trusting she's having some great parties in heaven.

Condolences from the Cleary Family to the Moriarty Family. I have fond memories of Sister Kate and her family especially her mother who was my mother's cousin. Strong women are a familial trait.

May she Rest In Peace. Sr. Kate always had a smile when you'd pass her in the halls of McAuley! Even if you had no cause to meet with her, you knew her kindness. God bless.
