On August 9th, we honored the anniversary of Mother Marianne Cope’s death by celebrating the local service organizations that "carry the torch" today. We featured nine local organizations that we feel act in the spirit of Saint Marianne and the sisters by providing for the underserved in our community, championing social justice issues and caring for animals and the environment. The nine organizations were featured daily in conjunction with the Novena (9-days of prayer) to Mother Marianne.
We awarded a $2,000 college scholarship to a student nominated by one of the service organizations.

“Saint Marianne Cope made the world a better place in so many ways, especially with her innovative ideas in the medical field and by being very humble in life. She showed me that “Nothing is impossible. There are ways which lead to everything…” and my journey has just begun.” -Excerpt from previous scholarship entry
Congratulations to Raven Seabrook, our 2017 Saint Marianne Cope Scholarship Recipient!

We are confident she will prove herself a worthy recipient of this scholarship award through
exemplary performance during her studies and by carrying on the legacy of Saint Marianne Cope.
