Sister Mary Reiter

Concordia, Kan.

Sister Mary entered community from her hometown of Beloit, Kan. She ministered as an elementary teacher, a secondary science teacher, and a director of religious education. She also directed RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) for many years and found that a “very life-giving experience!” Currently, she is semi-retired at Nazareth
Motherhouse.

Scripture is a vital part of her life and her prayer. She appreciates being able to attend daily Eucharist. “The CSJ charism of reconciliation and our attention to hospitality is so meaningful to me. It is something the world needs so desperately and something I can pray for and strive to live our in my own life,” she says.

Sister Mary enjoys crocheting, reading, swimming and walking. When walking she savors nature and marvels at all of God’s creation!
