Sr. Blandina Segale, Servant of God Description
"At the End of the Santa Fe Trail" portrays the life of Sister Blandina (Maria Rosa) Segale, S.C., and her faithful service in God's name. The Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati missioned her out West at the age of 22 to serve communities and teach the faith. She encountered many obstacles, and stayed true to her beliefs, even challenging Billy the Kid to spare someone's life! She is currently on the path of canonization by the Catholic Church, and has attained the title, "Servant of God" by the Vatican. "Stories abound of how she calmed mobs of armed men from taking the law into their own hands, helped criminals seek forgiveness from their victims, and even saved a man from a hanging party by facilitating reconciliation between him and the man he shot before he died," says her biography on the Sisters of Charity website. "Sister’s adventures have been featured in novels, television programs, histories and a comic book. In 1966 her story of bravery was told in a CBS series Death Valley Days episode, 'The Fastest Nun in the West,' where she faced down the barrels of guns to find justice." Items Not Allowed
No food, drink or strollers are permitted in the Mater Dei Chapel.
