Breaking boundaries, creating miracles
Mother Theodore’s journey to sainthood began with a desire to serve God and others. She was able to push past physical constraints, lack of resources, race, gender, existing systems and other obstacles and do whatever possible to make a difference in the lives of those she encountered.

Gifts that keep on giving
Most importantly, she gave because she believes in the work of the sisters, past and present. Her gift allowed her the opportunity to be a part of that work and to honor two women whom she admires greatly.

Legacy IRA Act Becomes Law
By allowing donors to use their IRAs to fund a gift annuity, this legislation provides those who have planned well for retirement with additional giving options.
