Episcopal Diocese confers Bishop's Cross on nun, an Island native

From Staten Island-

Sister Faith Margaret, a Staten Island native and member of the community of the Holy Spirit, was described as “a model of holiness and righteousness” at the 235th convention of the Episcopal Diocese of New York earlier this month, where the Bishop’s Cross was bestowed upon her.

“In the life and ministry of Sister Faith Margaret, we have a living witness to God’s mercy, of a thankful heart, of an example of praise and self-sacrifice, and of a model of holiness and righteousness,” said New York Bishop Mark S. Sisk, bestowing the cross on Jan. 14 in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Morningside Heights, Manhattan.

“She is tireless and gracious in her efforts, professional and devotional in her focus, and merciful in her life,” the bishop said.
