You opened wide your arms, embraced us and told us “Mi casa es su casa” and we have not forgotten you, nor all of the support you gave us in those early days.

Bishop John J. Cantwell
For us, at first we wanted temporary lodging only while the Cristero War was raging in Mexico, but as time went on we discerned together it was God’s will for us to remain in the United States.
Father Leroy Callahan
You helped us bring thirty sisters from Mexico and found work they could do at St. Mary’s College in Moraga.
Father Francis Ott
On this our ninetieth anniversary, we want you to know that every new postulant and novices learns about you and, yes, from you, Father Ott. We learn what true friendship is and the sacrifices made on our behalf in the living out of that friendship.
The Christian Brothers at St. Mary’s in Moraga
You gave work to many, many of our exiled sisters. You provided extra nutritious meals to build them up after many months of little food.
James Francis Cardinal McIntyre
You are a forever friend. As our community grew, you helped us whenever we needed a helping hand.
Cardinal Timothy Manning, Co-Founder of the Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles
If anyone knew details about our Community, it was you who knew us and shepherded us for fifty years.
Our Everyone Else, Far Too Numerous to Name Individually
We admire your open hearts and generous assistance in such a wide variety of ways, far too numerous to name.
