Mother Angeline McCrory Manor and The Villas of Saint Therese

On January 21, 2026, the Sisters, Staff and Residents at Mother Angeline McCrory's Manor and The Villas of St. Therese in Columbus Ohio celebrated the anniversary of the life and death of  our foundress Venerable Mary Angeline Teresa McCrory. We had voting ballots made and placed around  the Manor and The Villas.  The residents and staff of both facilities voted for the staff member who best described compassion towards valuing the sanctity of the life of each and every one of our residents. Staff members from both Mother Angeline's Manor and The Villas were chosen for the Mission effectiveness award. We had a special cake and a wonderful meal for our staff.  The chapel at The Villas was decorated with the theme of  Respect for Life. Sister  Robert decorated Mother Angeline Manor which we thought of how to do together. We also put out information about Mother Angeline for the staff and residents for them to take and share with family and friends.  Some special flowers were placed for the chapel of both Mother Angeline's Manor and The Villas in honor of the anniversary.
