Sister Theresa Archambault ( Mary Monica) was called to God on December 9, 2019 at the age of 92 after 71 years of Religious Profession. She died at the Holy Cross Health Center in Manchester, NH after a long illness. She was born in Richford, Vermont on July 27, 1927. Sister Mary Monica was a devoted teacher and administrator of elementary and secondary Catholic schools, in Newport, Vermont, Champlain, New York, and Colebrook, New Hampshire. Later in life, to bring to fruition her intense love for the poor, Sister was missioned to a rural, poor parish in Crowley, Louisiana for nine years, teaching the illiterate as well as being engaged in pastoral and social work in the area. It is impossible to measure the impact of her witness and love for the deprived people of the area. Sister Mary Monica possessed an engaging personality that loved to laugh and tell a good story or joke that endeared her to all the people around her. She is fondly remembered and loved by her former students, her relatives and friends and her Sisters in the community.
