(serie 50 por 50)<\/em>\u00a0 The parallels between Sister Anne Marie Lamoureux\u2019s mother, Mrs. Anne Marie Eisele Lamoureux, and Elizabeth Ann Seton are striking. Elizabeth was widowed at an early age with 5 children to care for and Mrs. Lamoureux was widowed at an early age with 5 children and one on the way. They both faced financial hardship. They both maintained tremendous faith in times of peril and instilled that faith in their children.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was my mother\u2019s faith and her care for people that kept her going and kept all the family together,\u201d said Sister Anne Marie Lamoureux, DC. \u201cShe very much related to Mother Seton.\u201d<\/p>\n

When her husband, died, Mrs. Lamoureux figured out how to provide a safe and stable home for her children. The family finances were tied up in court, but she received some financial help from a priest and a relative. Because she was a nurse, she was able to work in the health care industry and eventually opened a convalescent home and named it ELM, an acronym for Eugene Lamoureux Memorial, a tribute to her late husband. Dr. Eugene Lamoureux was a public health physician, just like Elizabeth Ann Seton\u2019s father.<\/p>\n

The nursing home was a successful business and ministry and Mrs. Lamoureux often extended charitable support to those in need, even if beds were not available at ELM.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mother had my uncle bring a hospital bed to her own bedroom in her house for a very ill woman. She cared for her there. It was just her way,\u201d said Sister Anne Marie.<\/p>\n

Years later, Mrs. Lamoureux became very ill. She dealt with arthritis for many years, but the doctors were not sure what else was making her so sick. They told Sister Anne Marie and her siblings that their mother was dying. Mrs. Lamoureux made a novena to Mother Seton and on the last day she received a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.\u00a0 She was treated for Lupus and other complications and survived that health care crisis and lived for several more years. The family regards it as a miracle.<\/p>\n

Sister Ann Marie credits her parents faithful caring for others and an experience with a Sister with calling her to the Daughters of Charity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was in kindergarten a Sister gave me a hug. What I remember was just feeling loved and special.\u00a0 I wanted to do that for other children \u2014 make them feel special. That was the beginning,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Sister Anne Marie helped children and teens when she was a postulant, working in a home for children experiencing emotional challenges. She then became a chemistry teacher and eventually studied theology in an international program and ran retreats at schools. She also taught a course called A Matter of Life and Death where she engaged teens in dialogs about these sensitive topics. Over the years, she also worked extensively with the elderly in health care settings. She eventually came to the Seton Shrine and realized her long-held dream of ministering to those in need by creating the Seeds of Hope program. \u201cThis was the place where God let the dream come to fruition,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGod uses everything,\u201d she said. \u201cHe put me in touch with teens that I still keep in touch with. They are parents and grandparents now. Nothing is wasted. God has strange and amazing ways.\u201d<\/p>\n
