Rest in Peace
Sr. Mary Natalie Donola, PDDM
Our beloved Sr. Mary Natalie Donola, the most senior member of the Pious Disciples of the Divine Master Fresno Community at 99 years old, was brought to her eternal home and heavenly peace on January 6, 2025.
She would be 100 years old on February 23, 2025.
In the spirit of the gift-giving magi, Sr. Mary has given to the Lord the most beautiful gift she could give - her very life that is totally consecrated to God.
Let us pray for Sr. Mary's soul and for the comfort and peace for her family and loved ones.
