“Back then she was Sister Bernarda” – A Christmas tribute to Sister Norma Somers

Joy.

Grace.

Humility.

These are the gifts Sister Norm Somers, aka Sister Bernarda, shares with the world today. Don’t we need more of that? Thank you in advance for your gift to the Dominican Sisters of Springfield. Sister Norma and Sister Beth are grateful for your generosity and your belief in the Dominican Sisters mission for the life of the world.

    1966 in Jerseyville IL Sister Bernardo was our principal and my teacher. Coming out of my shell and blossoming into a teenager. She nurtured me and let me bloom. Never embarrassing me but supporting through this hard time of growing into adulthood. One of my favorite teachers, that I’ll never forget.
