Tagged: California, latina, parents, San BernardinoPosted on: September 25th, 2007“Gaeta joined the Felician Franciscan order as a novice in Chicago on Sept. 8, 1951, took her first vows two years later, and made a final commitment to religious life six years later, said Sister Carol Marie Wiatrek, who cared for Gaeta the last years of her life.
Gaeta had been named Carmen by her parents, but a year after arriving in Chicago she was given the name Mary Grace, according to information from the order.
As a member of the order, she made history by being the first Latina and the first Californian to join the order, Wiatrek said.”
