I just came from a celebration at Marquette U. Milwaukee for our S. Maria Rosa Leggol, SSSF. There were laughs and tears as she told the story of her life [in short form] which reads like a novel. She is indeed a remarkable women, a credible witness of what the Catholic church should be in our world. She has cared for over 41,000 orphans in Honduras in the last 60 years, building children’s villages with the help of people all over this continent. Children are very close to her heart, having been an orphan herself. Google her name and read about her inspiring life.
