Misericordia's Sister Rosemary Connelly has died at 94; 'She saw our kids as people, not as disabilities' She built Misericordia into a model residence for Chicagoans with developmental challenges.

Sister Kay has been with the order for more than 50 years, though most of those she entered with have long since left. The group has dwindled from 13,000 women in 1970 to fewer than 3,400 in 2014.
