CELIA SIROIS

Ahhh. We can be pretty confident Celia, that you are in the Father's house. Like St. Paul, whom you loved, you were baptized in Christ, lived in Christ, died in Christ and by His own resurrection, may you now, know the power of His resurrection to the full. We remember you both fondly and gratefully and miss your quick humor and down to earth teachings. Thank you God for putting people like Celia in my life. And to those closest to Celia, especially her family and friends,...

When Celia taught adults about the Scriptures, either the Old or New Testaments, she was talking about them as family. She understood their personalities, made fun of their "warts", careless ways, and appreciated their wisdom. It was fun to be in her class and I was privileged to have had the experience. I have missed her, but now she is with her Maker. God bless you Celia, you will NEVER be forgotten.

My condolences to Sirois family. Professor Celia was a role model for me. I still hear her voice sometimes teaching the class. Adriana Goodfellow

I taught with Celia at both Ursuline and Notre Dame. She was the consummate teacher and one devoted to learning and social justice. She influenced so many in her life. She will be missed. My most sincere sympathy to Karen and family. May Celia rest in peace knowing that she remains in the minds of so many.

Sorry to hear about Celia's passing. I had the good fortune to have her as a teacher at Ursuline Academy in the late 70s. I have carried her teaching and wisdom with me all my life and am forever grateful.

So sorry to hear of Celia's passing. I knew her well and attended many of her lectures. I use her book The Word of Life all the time. She opened the daily readings with scripture background. A great disciple of The Word

Celia was not only smart and a real scholar. She was also involved with trying to bring understanding between religions which is so essential in today´s world. RIP Celia.

Celia was a gift to those who knew her, to those who were taught by her. Shy, but on fire for God's word, and God's people, she was able to connect with her students and participants in her seminars. I remember with gratitude the course on St. Paul, offered for free one June (at her insistence) through the MAM program in Brighton. Her love for Paul, and for the working of the Holy Spirit in and through him and us was palpable and spread to the members of the class, bringing us to a deeper...

Celia inspired me with insights into the Pauline letters and the whole of scripture. Mostly she inspired me by her living the Word of God in her everyday life and manners. Her insights into life directed me many times. Sr Margaret Kerry, fsp
