Sister Maureen Skelly

Thank you for the great photo of the SIsters and their beloved pets. The ecosystem at Manresa was sacred and enthralling before destruction.

We are deeply sorry to hear that Sister Maureen has passed away. A beloved friend for many years when we visited the retreat at Mount Manresa in Staten Island, she will be missed.

She had a good sense of humor and was a strong community leader, sharing her anguish about the needless destruction of the pristine Mount Manresa site with its historic trees, buildings and legacy as the first Jesuit retreat center in the USA. Thank you, Sr Maureen, for being a role model and for your music ministry. Sister also planned and performed a wedding anniversary...
