Sr. Mary Anne Brawley, DC Receives Seton Legacy of Charity Bicentennial Medal

Wednesday, June 03, 2009

On May 23, 2009, Sr. Mary Anne Brawley, Lourdes Board Chair, was honored at the Basilica of the National Shrine of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton and awarded the Bicentennial Medal.  The Daughters of Charity hosted this Seton Legacy celebration to honor those who, through their ministries or their way of life, have mirrored the example of Elizabeth Ann Seton's pioneering spirit.  Recipients of the Bicentennial Medal are acknowledged for their willingness to be risk takers and honored for their dedication to works of charity after the example of Mother Seton.

The following is the testament that was read as Sr. Mary Anne received her medal:

Those who live and work with Sister Mary Anne identify her as one who is solid in her vocational commitment. Like Elizabeth Ann Seton, she adds quality to everyday life experiences and challenges by her willingness to fully invest in whatever is being asked of her - particularly if it involves advocating for those who are poor and vulnerable. With her unique gifts of passion and humor, she brings all of herself into each of her ministry opportunities, believing that "service is her main call." Without hesitation or counting the cost, Sister Mary Anne strives to reflect the best of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, unswervingly living out God's Will in her experiences.

Congratulations, Sr. Mary Anne!
