With great sadness, we share that Benedictine Sister Mary Collins died on May 2, 2024 at her monastery, Mount St. Scholastica, in Atchison, Kansas. A Mass of Resurrection will be celebrated there on Friday, May 17.

Pray Tell joins in prayers of hope for her eternal rest, and in gratitude for her mentorship and teaching of generations of students of the liturgy.
