Sister Marie Michael Miller entered the Congregation from Holy Redeemer Church in Rochester and spent 64 years as a nurse at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Elmira.

“Through my years of ministry at St. Joseph’s Hospital, I was blessed with many opportunities to serve Christ in the sick, from Pediatric Nursing Supervisor and Instructor, to Director of the School of Nursing and Nursing Service, to Assistant Administrator, to Nursing Home Administrator, to volunteer in the Pastoral Care Department,” said Sister Marie Michael.

“I especially cherish my seven years of working in Pediatrics because I have a great love for children. However, my 28 years of caring for the residents of the Skilled Nursing Facility were also a special blessing.”

Sister is currently in the prayer ministry at the Motherhouse.

“Looking back at these 75 years, I am grateful for God’s great love in calling me to be a Sister of Saint Joseph,” she said. “He has given me the peace, physical health and graces needed to do whatever He asked of me.”
