SISTER MARCELLINA
GOLDEN JUBfLARIAN
Sister of Mercy, Native of
Charleston, Honored at
Aiken Convent
(Special to The Bulletin)
AIKEN, S. C.—The Rev. Sister M.
Marcellina, for fifty years a member
of the Sisters of Mercy of the Diocese
of Charleston, observed the Golden
Jubilee of her profession January 6
at St. Angela Academy, the jubilee
program starting with a High Mass
in the Convent Chapel, with the rev.
George J. Dietz pastor of the Church
of Our Lady, Help of Christians, as
celebrant. The high school students
at the convent sang the Mass.
On the Feast of the Epiphany, 1884,
Sister M. Marcellina entered the
Community of the Sisters of Our
Lady of Mercy in the diocese of
Charleston, to assume the duties of
Religion. Entering the service of the
Master during the Christmas season
when the choirs of earth echo their
most harmonious music, their great
est hymns of praise, Sister M. Mar
cellina seems never to have lost file
musical spirit of Christmas. Service
to the Church, through music, has
been her life work. From organ and
choir, many of her finished students
sound the praises of the Creator. For
fifty years, she has led student after
student onward in the mastery of the
piano keyboard and continues daily
to instruct her class in music. How
ever, this has not been her only ser
vice. In addition to a life of daily
prayer, she has held responsible posi
tions as Procuratrix, treasurer, and
Mother Assistant of the Community,
as well as Superior of the Sumter
mission.
Sister M. Marcellina claims the dis
tinction of being a native Charleston
ian, her parents having settled in that
city in the early sixties. Her ele
mentary education was obtained in
Charleston with the Sisters of the
Community, which she entered later.
Upon the completion of her studies
at St. Elizabeth’s Academy, Middle-
town, Conn., at the age of eighteen,
she hastened to return to her native
city to become a Sister of Mercy.
Many friends in Aiken called at St.
Angela Academy, where Sister M.
Marcellina Hhs taught for the past
four years, to extend congratulations
and best wishes to her.
At 3:30 p. m., Benediction of the
Most Blessed Sacrament was given
by Father Dietz. “Adore Te Devote”
and “Tantum Ergo” Gregorian Chant)
were the musical selections.
At 4 p. m. a program was presented
in the parlors. Various recitations,
choruses, and piano selections ren
dered by the students filled the af
ternoon hours with pleasure and
brought to a close a day filled with
good wishes for the venerable jubil-
arian.
