Sister M.
Hyacinthe Kaczor, CSFN Celebrates 75 years!
"In the second grade
I dreamed of being a sister" writes
Sister M. Hyacinthe
Kaczor. "My dad used to read the Lives of the
Saints
and I concluded that
all sisters are holy. "At Transfiguration Catholic
Church,
I saw sisters
marching down the steps and praying the
Miserere and it
impressed me so much
that again it was my desire to become a sister".
Finally influenced by
Sister Illuminata, she became a Sister of the Holy
Family
of Nazareth, entering
the community at age 13 1/2
from St. Florian
Parish in Hamtramck, MI. That was 75 years ago.
Among her many
ministry experiences, Sister Hyacinthe, a teacher
and
principal, served 11
years at St. Hyacinthe Parish in Dillonvale, OH
and
20 years at St.
Christopher Parish in Detroit, MI, where she lives
today
in retirement while
oing volunteer services.
"I am deeply grateful
to Almighty God for the gift of my religious
vocation,"
she says. "During
these 75 years, I strove to spread the kingdom of
God's love
to the numerous
students whose lives I influenced, helping to lead
them
to a closer
relationship to God."
