Praying for the repose of her soul, but have little doubt that Sister is resting with our Lord. Will miss seeing her face when I visit my mom at Prompt Succor.

Sr. Mary Philip taught our class French at St. Francis de Sales HS in the early 60's. We sang Christmas carols in French on the local radio station. She was a very energetic, caring, dedicated, smart lady. I will pray to her for I am sure she is in Heaven!

My fondest memories , living at Malta Court, now Holy Angels, are of taking Sr. Mary Philip & Sr. Marcela on road trips.
I drove them and usually another sister in my "Nun Mobile" as it was called.
We went to Oak Alley festival, Battle of New Orleans festival, a visit to Sr. Mary Philip's brother place in Opelousas, where we picked pears. Lots of fun, great memories. I miss her & Sr. Marcela very much!! "Those were the days, my friend."
