Our city and our children were blessed because Sister Rosemary and Misericordia called Chicago home. She took the call of caring for those who were less fortunate and made it her life's mission. Her direct counsel and guidance made me a better public servant. She will be missed greatly.
Beloved for the energy, skill, devotion and unwavering faith she brought to Misericordia for more than half a century, Sister Rosemary died June 19 at Misericordia. She was 94.
Misericordia's Sister Rosemary Connelly has died at 94; 'She saw our kids as people, not as disabilities'
She built Misericordia into a model residence for Chicagoans with developmental challenges.
