Talk:Sisters of the Living Word

[Untitled]
The most important historical aspect of this organization, that should be more visible in this entry is that the sisters in this community are a terrific example of the trends many religious communities encountered during Vatican II, as they formed a completely new community in 1975. Additionally, many of the sisters themselves were extremely involved in schools within the Archdiocese of Chicago as teachers, principals etc. Today, many sisters continue to hold important roles in many non-profit organizations in and around the Chicagoland area, as well as the Midwest.

Tonight, I browsed many other religious communities of sisters pages that are already included on this website, and have observed that many link to schools, universities, etc. I will keep this in mind when I update the entry. As an archivist, I do feel that the community has historical significance and will edit the page to make this more evident. I do value Wikipedia as a scholarly resource and would like to thank you for recognizing that I need more support for this historical significance of this community. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you! gs.


 * RIP Genevieve Shea, 1919-2018 "Genevieve entered the Sisters of Christian Charity at the age of 14 and was known as Sr. Camilla before joining the Sisters of the Living Word. She taught at the elementary and high school levels in Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, and Iowa for twenty years, and she was a principal for eight years. Sr. Genevieve was Librarian at Mallinckrodt College and East Vicariate High School in Detroit, MI. She ministered as a chaplain to the elderly for 10 years. In her retirement, as Community Archivist for the Sisters of the Living Word, she began to develop the website for the Community and continued in this ministry for 16 years. In her mid-late 80’s she volunteered with the St. James Over 50 Group, and later became a permanent resident at Resurrection Life Center in Chicago. She was a very valuable member of that community. She also took up painting in her mid-eighties and had over 60 books on her iPad waiting to be read." ...and a very nice wikipedian from what I've read. Mannanan51 (talk) 03:25, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
