Sister Rosemary Connelly: The Heart of Misericordia

Sister Rosemary

Sister Rosemary Connelly is often referred to as the “face” of Misericordia, but in truth, she is the heart and soul of this marvelous institution.  Sister Rosemary has been profiled many times in the press, but People Magazine may have said it best when it included her in its “Heroes Among Us” series.

In the profile, People spoke with resident Terry Morrissey, a 45 year-old man who was born with a genetic disorder and who has been a resident at Misericordia since infancy.  “I have my mom and dad,” said Morrissey, “but this place is family.  And Sister Rosemary is wonderful.”

That sentiment is felt throughout the Bums community.  We just love Sister Rosemary and if we had a vote, she’d be canonized tomorrow.
