  • Notes 
    • The death of Sister Mary Raphael occurred at St. Vincent’s Convent, Cliff Street, on Tuesday. She was formerly Miss Adrienne McKenna, daughter of Francis McKenna who resides near Charlottetown, P.E.I. and the late Anne McKeever. Ada was born March 20, 1865, the third oldest of eight children. When Ada was 11 years old her mother died. The 1881 census indicates she was living at home with her father and the two youngest children in the family.

      Sister Mary Raphael entered the Convent, January 29, 1893, passed her novitiate, and after her religious profession taught in several of the schools of the Sisters’ missions in Moncton and Buctouche. The cause of death was consumption from which she had been ill almost a year.

      The funeral was held on Thursday morning, October 11, after a Requiem Mass celebrated in the Convent Chapel by Reverent A. J. O’Neill. Internment was made in the new Catholic Cemetery. Sister Raphael was a sister of Sister Germaine and Sister Constance of our Community.
