Derry and Strabane District Council urged to recognise Sister Clare's inspiration
Sister Clare Crockett has now been declared a Servant of God by the Catholic Church, the first step towards being officially recognised as a saint
A motion will be brought forward to Derry City and Strabane District Council calling for official recognition of the profound impact of Sister Clare Crockett’s life, her dedication to service, and the inspiration she continues to provide to many across the world.
Sister Clare Crockett died in an earthquake in 2016. She has now been declared a Servant of God by the Catholic Church, the first step towards being officially recognised as a saint.
Sinn Féin councillor Aisling Hutton said her motion would also express full support for the ongoing cause for Sister Clare’s Sainthood.
“I felt it was important to bring this motion," Cllr Hutton said. "As a proud Derry and Brandywell woman I watched as Sister Clare Crockett was officially declared a Servant of God.
“Her life of love, faith, and selfless service has brought honour to our community.
“From the streets of Derry to every corner of the world, Sister Clare’s legacy continues to inspire people to live with courage and humility.
“I send best wishes to all her family and friends."
