Angel of Mercy Jubilee

Borough daughter Sister Teresa Lilly will be celebrating her 60th Jubilee as a Maryknoll Sister at a special mass on Feb. 14. The consecration will take place at the Main Chapel at the Maryknoll Sisters Center in Ossining, New York.

Sister Lilly entered the Maryknoll in 1956 after working for eight years as a nurse. A 1945 graduate of St. Agnes Academy in College Point, NY, she received her RN from St. Catherine’s Hospital School of Nursing in Brooklyn, in 1948. She made her First Vows as a Maryknoll Sister in 1959, receiving the religious name Sister Marius, and her Final Vows in 1965 in San Pedro Necta, Guatemala, where she worked at the clinic for Monte Maria Academy, from 1961 to 1968.

Sister Lilly went on to minister in El Salvador and Guatemala during her tenure until her retirement in 2007. She currently resides at the Maryknoll Center in Ossining where she still actively serves via a ministry of prayer for mission worldwide.
