Sister Robert Therese Arnot (Mary Liguori Arnot), 78, a beloved member of the Sisters of Saint Joseph, Chestnut Hill, for 61 years, died on March 9, 2009, at Saint Joseph Villa, Flourtown, PA. A Mass of Christian burial was celebrated there on March 13, 2009.
Born in West Orange, New Jersey, Mary was the daughter of Robert and Teresa Filan. She was a member of Our Lady of the Valley Parish in Orange and received her elementary and secondary education at Our Lady of the Valley where the Sisters of Saint Joseph ministered. In 1948, Mary left her familiar North Jersey and entered the Congregation, eager to be of service to others. S. Robert received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Chestnut Hill College.
This young woman whose early life centered in the city of Orange, NJ began her teaching ministry in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. In time, she traveled to the Archdioceses of Washington, Baltimore, and Newark, as well as to the Dioceses of Allentown, Raleigh and Charlotte to educate young children for almost forty years. However, when a parish ministry opened in Norristown, she was able to give her full attention to the senior citizens of the parish and she loved the experience. Often, S. Robert visited patients in hospitals offering them a smile and a promise of prayers. She was a well-known figure in area hospitals and one local newspaper ran a headline about her work:" Sister Robert is a familiar face lighting the halls of Montgomery Hospital."
For all of her life, S. Robert enjoyed and made lots of fun for all persons. She loved St. Mary's by the Sea in Cape May Point and spent many weeks volunteering there during the summer months. She enjoyed swimming and riding a bike for as long as she was able. However, in time, pain became a perpetual part of her daily life.
In March of 2007, S. Robert became a resident at the Villa where her family, her friends and the Villa staff accompanied her so faithfully. It was appropriate that in her final hour her friends, in a circle of loving community and friendship surrounded her who had been so compassionate to others. May we, like Sister Robert Therese, be compassionate," just as our heavenly Father is compassionate."
