Sr Josephine Hoare pbvm
15 June 1934 – 31 December 2022

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our much loved Josephine Hoare, a member of our Star of the Sea community.

Jo contributed generously to our Congregation and to numerous schools and communities as a woman of compassion, caring and strong faith. She was a poet, with a deep love and reverence for the word, who loved life in all its beauty and complexity. Jo was a friend to many.

We thank all those who have cared for Josephine with such devotion during these past months.

We give thanks for Josephine’s life among us as we entrust her into the Mystery of God.
