Magee Women's Hospital, Emergency Repairs
& Necessities for Family Living

Sister Florence ministers at Magee Women's Hospital visiting the sick and bringing Holy Eucharist. Sister Florence says: "At Magee Hospital, the Holy Rule is applied through Chapter 36 in which Christ says, 'I was sick, and you visited me.' Many times the women in this hospital are in need of encouragement, hope and love. The ministry is accomplished by spending time with these women and giving them the messages they long to hear. The greatest part of this ministry is enabling these women to receive the Holy Eucharist.

Sister Florence also runs her own non-profit organization, Angels in Overalls. With the help of her own volunteer board of directors and volunteer staff, Sister Florence assists individuals and families referred to her by various area organizations with furniture, emergency repairs and other necessities for family living. She also works part-time in maintenance at Chateau Perry Apartments, mows the lawns on the Monastery grounds, and works on special projects with the youth of the local Chapter of the Ancient Order of Hibernians.
