Here's what a fellow parishioner, Mrs Bernadette Reddington (Member of the Parish Pastoral Council) wrote about Sr. Robertine:
If ever we had a Pillar of the Church, Queen of Angels, we had Sr. Robertine. Sadly we lost a hero, but Heaven gained a true champion.
Sr. Robertine grew up in Woodside, went to St. Sebastian school, she was a Sister of Mercy and taught at Queen of Angels School for over 40 years, she taught hundreds of children, not only did she teach academics she taught, spirituality, ethics and values, she was a hands on person, playing ball and other sports with the children, shaping them for the future.
Sr. Robertine also had a great compassion for the sick, elderly, homebound and dying, she developed a vibrant Pastoral Care program at Queen of Angels with many participants, being Eucharist Ministers and home visits with such tremendous value. We would visit many homebound, one in particular Anne Dean who was bed ridden for over 20 years – Sr. Robertine would visit her very often before she died and her face would light up with Joy when Sr. Robertine walked in.
Sr. Robertine was also a member of the New Life Prayer Group (Queen of Angels) for over 25 years and she was a leader encouraging all to come closer of JESUS.
Sr. Robertine lived her FAITH on the outside, these past few years she was not in good health and was sent to Maria Regina, Brentwood.
One time many years ago, Sr. Robertine told me she would love to be waked at Queen of Angels church and of course funeral Mass at Queen of Angels, we were her family, that was not to be – but we hope to have a Memorial Mass Tribute to Sr. Robertine in September/October, we will pray her farewell from her favorite church Queen of Angels.
May JESUS welcome our dear friend Sr. Robertine and Queen of Angels escort her Home.
Thank you JESUS for the Gift of our dear friend, Sr. Robertine.
