Teacher, Volunteer, Valued Community Member for 65 Years!
Please pray for the repose of Sister Patricia Costello who died on Aug. 3, 2013, at Mercy Convent in Chicago, IL.
Sister Patricia was born in Park Ridge, lL, on March 9, 1930. She was the youngest of a blended family of six. She attended St. Paul of the Cross Elementary School in Park Ridge, lL, and spent her high school days at St. Patrick Academy, Des Plaines. Both schools were staffed by the Sisters of Mercy. She entered the Sisters of Mercy on Sept. 8,1948.
In 1953, 12 years after Sister Pat's mother was widowed a second time, her mother entered the Franciscan Community at Rice Lake, WI, and became Sister Juliana. The Rice Lake Franciscans later merged with Immaculata Convent in Bartlett, IL. Sister Pat was always close to and proud of her mother, but that bond deepened when they shared life as Religious Women.
