Sr. Mary Amelia Cetera Turns 100

On Sunday, November 6th, the Caldwell Dominicans celebrated Sister Mary Amelia Cetera's 100th birthday! The event began with a liturgy celebrated by Bishop Manuel Cruz in the Sister Mary Dominic Tweedus Chapel at Caldwell University. Bishop Cruz had Sister Mary Amelia renew her baptismal promises at the liturgy. A special reception followed in the atrium of the Newman Center at the university. The spirit in the room was wonderful with everyone enjoying the conversation, laughter, music, and joy that come with a great celebration! Prior to the event, a call had gone out to the Dominican community in hopes that Sister Mary Amelia would receive 100 birthday cards. In reality, she has been flooded with cards from sisters, neighbors, students at our sponsored works, friends, and former students—so many that we are still counting!  What a beautiful way to honor such a wonderful person!
