And by her Sisters of Santa Rita Abbey.
Beverly Aitken was born on November 11, 1937 in Chicago, Illinois. Her family moved to Montreal, Canada when Beverly was very young. After becoming a Catholic as a young adult, she entered Mt. St. Mary's Abbey (Cistercians Nuns of the Strict Observance, also known as Trappistines) in Wrentham, Massachusetts, on August 4, 1961.
Sr. Beverly was among the six Wrentham sisters who founded Santa Rita Abbey in Sonoita, Arizona on February 6, 1972. Sr. Beverly was appointed novice mistress of the new foundation and held that office for 18 years.
On May 31, 1990, Sr. Beverly was elected titular Prioress. In this service she was full of energy and vision, leading the community with enthusiasm and courage. In her teaching to the sisters, she stressed the importance of silence and prayer: loving, whole-hearted, self-sacrificial service to the community. During Mother Beverly's tenure as prioress, the community grew in numbers and deepened and matured.
M. Beverly raised the funds for and oversaw the construction of the new Santa Rita Abbey Retreat House. The new building was complete in 1995 and is used by a growing number of people of all faiths.
Her Sisters remember her with gratitude and love. She respected very much the uniqueness of each sister and strove to support each one in her journey to God. Friends and guests of the monastery who encountered her also experienced her warmhearted support and encouragement.
Visitation will be at Santa Rita Abbey Chapel in Sonoita on Monday, May 22, 2000 from 5:00 p.m. until 9:30 a.m., Tuesday, May 23. Funeral Mass at the Abbey at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 23.
