Farewell to Sister Paulinus Oakes - the end of an era in the Diocese of Jackson



Sister Paulinus Oakes is a Sister of Mercy from Vicksburg, Mississippi.  She has worked in our diocese for many years and touched many, many lives.  She is beloved by many.  A Civil War Historian, grief counselor, behavioral health specialist, teacher, principal, theologian, spiritual director, football coach - all these are titles that belong to Sister Paulinus.  Most of all, the thing that I treasure, is that I am able to call her friend.  Farewell, Sister Paulinus.  you will be missed by many.  We said goodbye to you from St Richard Catholic Church in Jackson last Friday.  You will forever be in our hearts.
