St. Jean Baptiste parish and school in Manhattan celebrated a historic milestone—the 125th anniversary of the collaboration between the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament and the Congregation of Notre Dame.
Highlights included a beautiful Mass led by Bishop Whalen, reflections on a legacy of service that continues to shine, and a lively reception in the school gym.
Sister Theresa Docherty, OP, devoted nearly 50 years to Catholic education across the Bronx, Carmel, Peekskill, and Sparkill, touching generations of students with quiet grace before entering eternal life on July 24, 2026, at age 88.
