- qui a fait sien l'ouverture
sans distinction de race, de langue, de nationalité, de statut social ou de religion,
une initiative progressiste combinant le religieux et le laïc qui a contribué à
l'évolution de la condition féminine. À la tête de cette nouvelle congrégation, elle
se ferait désormais appeler Mère. Écrivaine douée, ses poèmes publiés, sous le nom
de plume Marie Sylvia, lui ont valu de nombreux prix littéraires. Mère Marie
Thomas d'Aquin était une visionnaire avant-gardiste dont la mission de service et
de bienfaisance s'étendait à l'ensemble de la communauté.
