She was born on 8th December 1916 at Holymount, Co Mayo, Ireland. She was baptized and given the name Mary. She entered the noviciate of the Trinitarian Sisters and made her first vows of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience on the 8th February 1938 in Valence, France. Sr. Catherine was the youngest of three of her sisters who became Trinitarian sisters, the other two were Sr. Imelda and Sr. Martine. (Another sister became a Franciscan in America and one of their brothers entered the De La Salle Brothers in Ireland. Other members of her family married.) In her apostolate she worked with great generosity as a teacher and in various other services and responsibilities in the communities of Algiers (Algeria), Valence, Oran (Algeria), Brussels (Belgium), Mazargues (France) where she stayed for 14 years, Kidderminster (England). In 1997 at the moment of the opening of the new house and community, she was sent to Corduff to render her service to her own country of Ireland. She was very much appreciated in her work of visits to the elderly and her great devotion to the Parish in multiple capacities. In 2004, after spending three months with her family in the west of Ireland, she arrived in Bromley, not in the best of health but continued to serve the Trinitarian Congregation by her prayer, right up until the time of her death today. We pray for her and we unite ourselves in prayer and sympathy with the community of Bromley. Generalate of the Trinitarian Sisters and the Community of Bromley. (Notice of her death has been sent to all the houses of our Congregation throughout the world)
