On May 17, the Casa community celebrated the requiem mass of Maria Teresa,
the mother of Dr. Cotogni, our financial adviser, together with her relatives and friends.
It was the explicit wish of late Maria Teresa to have the requiem mass
in our house with the sisters,
as it was done already many years before with the requiem mass for her husband.
Instead of buying flowers, the people were encouraged
to make a donation for the mission of our Congregation.

Our chapel was packed full with so many people,
who showed their respect to Maria Teresa.
The requiem mass was presided over by Fr. José Carvajal,
Vicar General of the Order of Regular Clerics of St. Paul, called Barnabites,
a friend of the family.
At the end of the mass Paolo, one of the sons of Maria Teresa
gave a testimony on the life and impact of their mother.
We sisters were enriched by the celebration together
and pray for the eternal repose of Maria Teresa.
May she rest in peace!
