A vision of Mother Theodore

Mother Superior Gertrude Clare Owens, general superior from 1954 to 1960, had always been in frail health since her entrance into the Congregation in 1904. Members of the Congregation believed that Sister Gertrude Clare would not live long after the death of her sister, Sister Genevieve Therese, who died of tuberculosis in 1910.

However, the mother of Sisters Gertrude Clare and Genevieve Therese, Mrs. Michael Owens, had a vision of Mother Theodore one night. In that vision, Mother Theodore told Mrs. Owens, “Sister Gertrude Clare will not die now; she is going to live and do great things for the Community.”
