Sister Mary George O'Reilly Turns 90!

Rosemont Alumni Unite to Celebrate the Birthday of a Very Special Person!

On Sunday, September 14th a very special celebration was held for Sister Mary George O’Reilly’s 90th Birthday. The festivities began with a Mass of Thanksgiving in Rosemont’s Chapel, followed by a Tea in Main Building.

Reverend Richard O’Leary, OSA presided over the Mass and several alumni participated in the service. The Tea was a mini reunion of sorts: The 90 degree heat and humidity that day did not prevent 150 alumni from coming out to give Sister their birthday wishes and finest regards. After the Mass, President Hirsh presented Sister Mary George with a memory book compiled of photos and memorabilia submitted by many alumni.

Throughout the summer, over 445 alumni and members of the Rosemont Community gave donations to Rosemont in honor of Sister Mary George’s birthday. To date, these gifts have raised almost $190,000 and will benefit areas of greatest need for the College – an incredible testament to a Rosemont woman who has given so much of herself to Rosemont, and who has touched the lives and hearts of many!
