Sister Mary Christin Alfieri SND

Jeanie was one of my first friends when I moved to Cleveland 30 years ago. I went to dinner at her place the convent at Gesu. It was the most amazing evening and Jeanie was the kindest funniest best person ever. She moved away and I lost touch with her. I JUST found out she had passed away. RIH Jeanie

Sister Christin made a lasting impression on us when we visited St. Helen School. Her love for the children and her dedication to the school was immense. We will forever remember her kindness.

I have had the honor of knowing Sr. Christin for 26 years as a friend, colleague and as my principal. She was truly the heart of St. Helen and Catholic Education. I will miss her so much and know she is at peace with the Lord in heaven

Sister Christin where do I begin, I believe you were an Angel on Earth. You guided so many souls with your love, kindness and beautiful smile that made you glow. I thank God everyday that our lives have crossed even for that short time. I thank you for all you had done for my family and for making a First Communicate in your second grade class so special. May God's loving arms embrace you like you embraced so many.

Prayers for all who knew and loved our Sister Christin! Her influence was far-reaching. Last week, at mass, I truly felt the meaning of the Body of Christ - a part of us was missing and it hurt. Thank you, Sister, for caring for the St. Helen children so well and for sharing your gift of music with them. Your smile and gentle ways will not be forgotten.

May Her Memory Be Eternal!

To Jeannie's family my sincere and heartfelt condolences. Jeannie was a dear childhood friend who was gentle and kind to everyone she touched. As we lived only four houses away, it was so much fun on summer days to sit beneath the grape trellised patio and enjoy an ice cream that her mother Frances so lovingly gave to us. We spent many happy days together as children - Jeannie was fun and spending time with her was always a treat in so many ways. I admired Jeannie's spirit then as my...

Sister Christin was the greatest advocate St. Helen School ever had. She will be greatly missed. She fought and worked tirelessly for every student and every faculty member. Sister was my second grade teacher and remained a close friend ever since. For some reason, she believed and eventually taught me that I am capable of anything I put my mind to. She encouraged me throughout my life and always believed in me. She was a beautiful example of surrender to God's will, even when it was hard....
