HOLY REDEEMER PARISH
[ROMAN CATHOLIC]

Trepassey, Newfoundland

 

 

The following is from an address at a Mass of Thanksgiving. Thinking of the first group of Presentation Sisters to assist at a Mass of Thanksgiving, offered in their behalf, the names of the founding members came to mind vividly, though their appearances have not been captured even on Kodak: Sr. M. Teresa Halpin, the Superior, Sr. M. Ita O' Sullivan, teacher and musician, Sisters M. Gertrude and M. Alphonsus O' Driscoll of the same family:-all of Irish origin - who had left homes and loved ones to dedicate their young lives to the service of God and their adopted folk of Newfoundland. Then, a true "native - born" lady - Sr. M. Agatha, ( Finlay ) Foley of St. Shott's, who had spent some years in the far- flung mission of Harbour Breton. A late comer from the city of St. John's - Miss Catherine Smythe - joined the ranksof the Presentation Sisters at the Convent, Trepassey, and was received in the Parish Church as Sr. M. Joseph, at the age of seventeen. How they must be proud of the succession of Sisters through the years, as they , by the grace of God, learn of the Hundred Years' progress.
