Sister Spotlight
Sister of the Month
February 2026
Sister Mary Owen Mullaney
Elizabeth Mullaney was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Her father’s job location changed and the family moved to St. Francis Assisi Parish in Astoria, New York. Devout Catholics, her parents took their children to Mass on Sunday and during Lent and, since they were attending the local public school, made sure they attended catechism classes. After graduating from elementary school, Elizabeth planned to continue her education as a public-school student. Then, one of her teachers suggested she should enroll in a Catholic School. Elizabeth followed through and, with the recommendation of her pastor, she was accepted into The Mary Louis Academy.
