Convent outside Detroit lost 13 nuns to Covid-19 with 12 dying in one month

Coronavirus spread so quickly through a convent in Michigan that it claimed the lives of 12 nuns in one month, beginning on Good Friday.

They were all members of the Felician Sisters convent in Livonia, outside of Detroit, ranging in ages from 69 to 99, the executive director for mission advancement, Suzanne English, confirmed to CNN on Tuesday. A 13th sister initially survived the virus but passed away from its effects in June.

The women were long-time members of the convent and leave behind a legacy of service, according to their obituaries supplied by English. They all served others through different roles, from teaching to helping at-risk children to playing music to publishing a 586-page book about the history of the convent.

One sister won a commercial script-writing contest for Campbell's Soup with her second-grade class. Another was assigned to the Felician Generalate in Rome twice and worked as secretary in the English section of the Vatican Secretariat of State.

2. Bless those nuns

3. The world is not aware of the good they have done and continue to do.

They live out their missions unnoticed, especially after their public work done.

It's easier to draw a cartoon of "Sister" with a ruler in hand than to recognize their service.
Even unto death and beyond, as many have donated their brains and their bodies to science, to further human knowledge.

4. Taught by them 1st thru 10th grade - Sisters of St. Joseph.

I still think about them all from time to time.

Trinity College in Washington DC, with Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, is Nancy Pelosi's alma mater. - I think she's brilliant in thought and speech. - Never loses her cool.
