Sister Mary JoAnne Flynn–40Years “An old Irish saying I live by, ‘Just love everyone I’ll sort them out later. Love, God.’

“Blessed by God. With love for God and thankfulness for my vocation. Yes, I have been.

“In 2010 I was able to return to Nursing as Nazareth Elementary opened for pk-3 through sixth grade. I know that I was Blessed by God b ybeing a safe place for any child to come to until 2020.

“I was Blessed by God to be able to do things at the Motherhouse and be a companion for the resident Sisters and priests for medical appointments.

“I say this because from an accident I had in 2008 to the present time, I live with all of the ‘gifts’ that keep on coming. Because I have been Blessed by God.

“All of these Blessings would not be as great as they have been without the faith my parents taught and lived all of their lives. To them and all of the people along the way I will be forever grateful.”
