Happy Birthday
16 July, 2007 by PF
Congratulations to Mother Catherine C.P., former superior of the Passionist Contemplative Nuns in England, who celebrates her 100th birthday today. In the early 1960s, Mother Catherine left Erlanger, Kentucky, with four companions to found a new Passionist community in England, marking in this way the Beatification of Blessed Dominic Barberi. A convert to the Catholic faith, she told me once that reading the Prima Pars of Aquinas’s Summa Theologica, when she was thinking of becoming a Catholic, “just blew my mind”. After more than forty years in England, I wonder if she qualifies for a telegram from the Queen.
