MEET OUR SISTERS
Sister Mary Pauline Hogan, SC
With countless acts of kindness and reverence for each person she meets, Sister Mary Pauline Hogan has always tried to be God’s
instrument. She truly listens and offers comfort and encouragement to people when they need it the most. In her current ministry as a
hospital chaplain and throughout her varied ministries as a Sister of
Charity, she quietly leads by example to share God’s love and help others to trust in God’s providence.

Rest in your peace. Amen
