Picture of the week: Sept. 9

Happy 100th birthday, Sister Rosalie!

Sister Rosalie turns 100

Sister Rosalie Marie Weller was born on September 7, 1911. She entered the Sisters of Providence community in 1934, when Mother Mary Raphael Slattery was general superior. (You can see her name in the first Sisters of Providence entrance book recently digitized with help of the Indiana Historical Society. She's on page 295.)

This makes her the second Sister of Providence to turn 100 this year — Sister Francis Alma McManus turned 100 back on February 28. (She entered the community in 1928.) Here are the two centenarians enjoying the day.
