Generations of students at Holy Spirit School were blessed by the kind and gentle teaching of Sr. Angelina Mazzarella. Sr. Angelina infused each lesson with “God” and “joy” and “love”, no matter the subject. By finding and nurturing the best in each of our children, she was a shining example for parents of how to love every young person as a child of God. For parishioners, she provided a religious presence, friendship, and the perfect example as a servant of God. Sr. Angelina’s legacy at Holy Spirit School lives on in the thousands of her students who learned to know and love Jesus through her teaching. She devoted 65 years to consecrated life, 31 of them spent here at Holy Spirit during the years 1970-74, and 1992 to 2019. In memory of Sr. Angelina’s devotion to Catholic education, a scholarship fund is being established with specific criteria to be awarded to students who are pursuing their education at Holy Spirit School. Donations are welcome for all who wish to memorialize Sr. Angelina in this meaningful way. Checks should be made payable to Holy Spirit School and clearly marked on the envelope and the check, “Sr. Angelina Scholarship Fund”. Donations can be mailed to Holy Spirit School, 330 Newark-Pompton Turnpike, Pequannock, NJ 07440, can be placed in the collection basket at church, or dropped in the mailbox at the rear of the rectory/church office. Sr. Angelina gave so freely of herself, and would be so grateful for the help this scholarship can provide to the students she loved so well.
