Sister Claude Feldner, CSA
Just read Whispers in the Loggia blog in which Rocco Palma writes about Sister Claude Feldner, CSA, a member of the Sisters of Saint Agnes of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, who recently died at the age of 109. My condolances and prayer are with the Sisters of Saint Agnes and Sister Claude’s loved ones.
Sister Claude professed first vows as a religious at the age of 12 which means she was a religious for 97 years! WOW!
I went to the Sisters of Saint Agnes web site where they have a link to a beautiful tribute to Sister Claude as well as a link to the Fond du Lac Reporter article on Sister Claude. Take some time to read about this remarkable woman.

Wow! What a life! 3 centuries. I wish I had heard about her a bit sooner when I gave the Retirement for Religious Fund talks. I’ll have to quote her next year! Thanks for sharing.
Wow, 109?? That’s amazing! I guess that article that came out a few months ago talking about how nuns tend to live longer than average is true.
How on earth was she professed at age 12 though?
No idea … but then again, that was way back in 1910 or so. Religious tended to enter younger, though 16 seemed the lowest. But I’ve heard of people who entered earlier. That’s not the norm today. I can’t imagine making such a decision at age 12, but then again, 12 year olds back then were probably more mature than today.
