Sister Cornelia left the School Siste rs of Notre Dame in 1936 and we have very little information on her. T he following information is in her file.Helen Weyenberg was the daughter of William Weyenberg, a shoe manufactur er and Angeline De Kelver. Helen was born on February 9, 1892 in Chippe wa Falls, Wisconsin. She entered the candidature of the School Siste rs of Notre Dame on Sept. 7, 1915. She received the habit and the name Ma ry Cornelia as a novice in 1917 and took her first vows on July 24, 191 9. She took her final vows on July 16, 1924. Sister left in August of 19 36.The closing remarks on Sister's leaving were touching. "Sister Cornelia h as long felt drawn to a cloistered and contemplative life. It seems certa in that God is calling her to that state where she can serve Him more in a ccordance with the desires of her heart. Sister has been more than 20 yea rs with us and in every way she has been a most exemplary religious. S he has always enjoyed the love and esteem of her Superiors and companion S isters. Sister was never of a robust constitution but was always a busy a nd most competent music teacher. She has a most upright character. May G od love and bless."It is a wonderful tribute to Sister who must have been a very dear perso n. I wish I knew the religious congregation that she joined when she le ft us. That is not indicated anywhere in our records. Wherever she wen t, I am sure they were as blessed with her as we were. Sincerely, S. Suzanne Rene
