As Brigid Mc Gilloway, from Lougherbraghey, Malin Head, she joined the Sisters of Mercy in Newry, Co.Down in 1954, making her Final Profession in 1957. She spent nine years teaching in Mobile in Alabama, U.S.A., before returning to Ireland to teach in the local Mercy schools in Newry. After her retirement from teaching she spent nine years in Minna, Nigeria. There she was instrumental in building a much needed school where she served as principal. Two years ago she returned to Newry where she now does chaplaincy work, visiting the sick and elderly.
A special Mass was held for Sr. Teresa in the Convent of Mercy in Newry, where her brothers and sisters were present. A Celebratory Mass was also held for this much loved sister and aunt in St. Mary’s Church, Lagg, which was attended by her numerous family members!
