A funeral Mass will be held for Sister of St. Francis Leonora Juliani July 17 at Assisi House in Aston, Pa. Sister Lenora died on her 95th birthday, July 10.

She had been a professed member of the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia for 71 years and taught at several Baltimore schools. 

Sister Leonora was born in Philadelphia, where she was a member of St. Mary the Eternal Parish and a graduate of Hallahan High School. She entered the congregation in 1950 and professed her first vows in 1953.  She earned a bachelor’s in education from Mount St. Mary University and ministered primarily in education. 

In the Archdiocese of Baltimore, Sister Leonora taught for 14 years at several Baltimore area schools, including Our Lady of Mount Carmel, St. Paul School, Saints Philip & James School, St. Joseph School and St. Elizabeth School.  She also spent two years in the Washington, D.C., diocese at St. Bernadette School in Silver Spring. 

Elsewhere, Sister Leonora ministered for 41 years in the Diocese of Wilmington and for 15 years in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, where she served the congregation as a volunteer in the archives and in local house ministry at Our Lady of Angels Convent. In 2021, she moved to Assisi House, the congregation’s retirement residence in Aston, where she served in prayer and hospitality ministry until her death.
