Most Rev. Michael B. Curry Visits Sisters of St. Mary
Last week the Sisters of St. Mary were visited by the Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, the 27th Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, famously known as being the preacher at the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle back in 2018. “I can’t say how supported we felt and how honored we were to have Presiding Bishop Michael Curry and his Executive Coordinator, Sharon Jones, visit the Community of St. Mary. In spite of his very busy schedule, Bishop Curry spent most of the afternoon with us. Together, we toured the convent, visited with guests, friends, volunteers, and staff on the grounds, and discussed the Community’s ministries and history. And at the end of the tour, the Sisters, the Bishop, and Sharon enjoyed refreshments outside and spent some quality time telling stories, discussing our hopes and concerns, and hearing the Bishop’s impressions and ideas,” said Sr. Madeleine Mary, CSM. The Sisters of St. Mary have been in Sewanee since 1888 and continue their ministry of prayer and care for the body, the soul, and the earth.
