Sr. Callista's 75th Jubilee

ree

During Mass for the Feast of St. Benedict on July 11, 2025 - with her Benedictine sisters, oblates, former students, and friends in attendance - Sr. Callista Kaley celebrated her 75th Jubilee as a Benedictine Sister of Chicago by renewing her vows to the community.


Thank you to Maria Farlekas Kotsinis '81 for the image of Callista renewing her vows and to Di Murphy '70 for the new portrait.


During her scriptural reflections, Prioress Sr. Mary Susan Remsgar shared the following with Sr. Callista:


Today, Sr. Callista, we celebrate God’s fidelity and yours. Thank you for your 75 years of faithfulness in seeking wisdom, seeking God with us, your Benedictine sisters. You have been graciously gifted by God, especially with the gift of music and the gift of teaching.  And you have honored God and us by developing those gifts which you have so generously and lovingly shared with us in community and with your students and friends, many of whom are here today to celebrate with you, to thank you, and to express their love for you.


You are, for all of us, such a real, true, genuine and inspiring reminder of God’s faithful love and goodness... We are grateful to God for you, for your long and faithful life with us. We ask God to bless you with continued good humor, lasting joy, deep peace, and most especially, the inexpressible delight of God’s unending love for you.
