Sister Mary Terence Gallagher

Sr. Terence was an absolute delight! She was my first grade teacher at OLPH. Her bright smile and infectious spirit made school a welcoming place. Lessons in the class and kickball on the playground, she was the best. I saw her a couple of years ago and she sang the Lord of the Dance. I hope she is still singing and dancing. May she rest in peace.

Sr. Terence had a banner across the wall in her classroom that read, " Bloom where you are planted". She lived this. My children went to West Side Catholic, and I met her there. We lived across from the old St. Joseph Cemetary on Donald Street in Manchester and I often saw and chatted with her while she tended the Sisters of Mercy graves there. She became a friend, was a great influence in my life.
