PASTORAL POST

In Loving Memory of Sr. Marie Shields, SNDdeN

It is with great sadness that we ended 2019 with the loss of Sr. Marie Shields,

SNDdeN, who passed away at her motherhouse on December 31, 2019. This past

week, we have had a rosary vigil for her, a�ended/watched her funeral, and now

are preparing a memorial Mass to be held at St. Ma�hias in the near future. We

have had many wonderful comments on our parish Facebook page (St. Ma�hias

Columbus) about her and we would like to share a few of them:

“She was such a sweet Godly person! She had a knack for making

everyone feel welcome with her loving smile.”

— John H.

“She was so an Angel on earth. She visited Mom and Dad every week

and helped us plan their funerals. She will be very missed by many.”

— Lynne B.

“Sister Marie was very special. We le= the Columbus area many

years ago but when we came back to St. Ma�hias she always

remembered us and warmly greeted us.”

— Larry L.

“Sister Marie was so inspira�onal to all of us parishioners and

the school children. Her posi�ve influence will live on in all

of us who knew her.”

— Dick K.

“A wonderful person who worked �relessly for all.”

— Cindy O.

“I will always remember the first day of school every year

opening car doors.”

— Ma� R.

“She made us all be�er people. She is a saint.”

— Michael C.

As we enter into 2020, Sr. Marie certainly will be missed. She impacted so many

lives, more than we will ever know. May she now see the God she loved and

served faithfully her en�re life face to face.
