Being a curmudgeonly old Catholic, I find this to be the loveliest and yet the humblest and most poignant cemetery I've ever seen. Even Punchbowl and Kawaiahaʻo Church out here would be hard-pressed in my mind to "top" this one. This puts the "serenity" into "Serenity Sue." Mahalo for bringing this to me, Sue!
Thank you both Sue! It is a beautiful resting place for all of them. I agree with GV about cutting the grass! But they really keep it up well don't they? Stay safe in your travels and always! Your friend, Buz
What a beautiful tomb for a special lady. She must have gone over and above for her charity works. I'm glad she was honored so highly. Thank you, Sue, for sharing this lovely cemetery with us.
I’m an American Civil War re enactor and portray a Sister of Charity. Being born and still a Lutheran, I had to study the sisters in order to portray them correctly. They were the only women who were allowed in camp with the soldiers without an escort they were so well respected. It has been a learning experience and a privilege to be able to show spectators the tireless work, compassion and sacrifice that they had done . Thank you for sharing this video 🙏🏻🇺🇸
What an interesting hobby. I really appreciate re enactor’s attention to detail and passion to pass on historical knowledge especially to young people. Thanks for what you do.
Im of Irish descent, and your voice is so comforting, and i love hearing the seagulls, and Ireland is so beautiful. Im an old man now, but if i had it to do all over again, i would apply for citizenship and live out my days there. God bless you!
@@pamavery9352 I a retired palliative care nurse from the motherhouse in South Buffalo. Although often a sad job, the positives outweigh the negatives by a long shot. I cared for several of the sisters that at one time cared for me when I had major surgery, and children there. Several of my daughters owe their life to Sisters in Buffalo. It was an honor to care for them.
An incredible, peaceful cemetery. Thank you for taking us with you on your visit and for the background story of Mother Mary Aikenhead. I give thanks for her being here and for all she achieved. Keep your light shining bright Sue❤~ Cobs. x
It's nice to see when the church honors the memories of their own. What a fitting tribute to herself. Great video, Sue. Thanks very much for sharing this with us.
What a lovely peaceful cemetary for the dear sisters who lived their Catholic faith. I am not catholic, born again christian but working for Father Nolan for years i learned so much and i so love the stations of the Cross, how and i knelt my knee when entering the church ...it is very stunning, but the cemetary has a humbleness ..Thanx Sue for showing me and teaching me a beauty i so admire..love you guys❤❤❤❤
Thank you guys! A short but sweet video of the women who dedicate their lives in working for the Lord, and helping the poor have a better life as well. The little plaques, so simple and brief, are all the testament of the lives these women have, as they do not seek approval or fame from the world, only to be remembered by the people whose lives they touched and made better.
She must have been a very beloved woman. Her tomb is amazing yet very simple for a woman who lived her vows of poverty & charity. a very fitting memorial

Good day serenity sue and grave visitations That coffin is very good condition given the age looks like it was only put in there yesterday Another great and interesting video has always 👍
Very beautiful resting place for a sincerely kind woman. I have a cousin who is a sister in the School Sisters of Notre Dame in Canada. I was going to become a nun, Sue. Every weekend I attended retreats at the Mother House with a friend for about four years. Then we moved back to the east coast and that was the end of that. I guess I really wasn't nun material! We need to be in contact via FB.
Hello Serenity Sue, What a wonderful heartfelt story about this nun. God bless this woman and you for this amazing channel. Jean Crosby Nashville TN USA
Good night, Sue and GV. That was a peaceful resting place.The mother superior has a most beautiful but unusual memorial. It is fantastic that it is all so well kept.Thank you again.God bless you both and nighty,night❤😴

Live your Fan from Florida of course in America Debbie. I'm the woman 5hat had asked you about family members I have over in Ireland there last name are Cleary . I still haven't found any of them but I'm not gonna give up searching . I like to Thank You for your help with asking the Cleary family 5hat you wo4k with for me . I don't recall if I ever thank you for your help or not. Thank you very much !
Beautiful, I am not Catholic but went through two years of instruction to become a Catholic Godmother to my youngest niece from my only brother. I highly respect the dedication and loyalty these women have lived. It was not an easy life back then to be sure. Thank you for sharing all these Sister's and holy mother's with us.
Wow what a great woman she must of been to sacrifice so much for the poor that was really interesting and informative video thanks from Aussie Pete keep safe
I seriously doubt that’s the original coffin. She died in 1858. The tomb, having a light, would obviously have been constructed much later than 1858. I’d assume sometime in the process, she’d have been removed from the original and placed in a new coffin.
A truly charitable woman, she deserves to be recognized from what I've read. The cemetary itself is so peaceful and well maintained for those departed souls.
@@janiceavila7119 Ms Janice ❤️😍🥰💕🌹💜😉 it's sort of interesting when Ms Sue or other folks looking at headstones, burial chambers, etc, and see bones. Thank you ❤️
Hi sue Steve from England. That video was brilliant, I have never seen anything like that. So beautiful and well looked after. I would have taken my shoes off for respect of the place. Sue that was unbelievable
Very nice clean organized place to be buried. I have never seen or heard of a grave with electricity . Thank you for sharing this great video 📹 Take care from Marie in Northern British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
So much beautiful history in Ireland’s Cemeteries. I am actually at the Toowoomba Drayton cemetery , in Queensland Australia, having my lunch, I often do this , because of the peace ❤
Absolutely brilliant fairwell. Clearly took a great deal of care building not only the tomb but also the cemetery. Most of them just seem thrown together but this is one of the nicest cemeteries I've seen. Tomb is like 200 years old and still gets regular care than of it.
@SerenitySueGraveyards that's good. People still have that much respect for someone all those years later. Mother Mary changed a lot of lives. God bless her soul.
Wonderful, the nuns have been blessed with such a beautiful resting place!✝️ I don’t know if in the US if there is such a beautiful place like this for nuns. My children were blessed to be taught by nuns in elementary school. Don’t see nuns much in life now. I can’t even recall the last time I have seen a nun. 😢 Mary Aikenhead has been honored in death, what amazing resting place.
I was in the presentation which had several nuns teaching. The principal was also a nun and unfortunately, she wasn't so nice. She eventually left and rumours at the time say she left the presentation nuns altogether
Nuns anymore dress like most church goers in the US. Our nuns at our church just wear skirts and blazers no habit so that's probably why you don't see many now days.
