Susan Sullivan OP
Tribute
to
Susan Sullivan
Coordinator of Sophia
1992-2008
A Eucharist in celebration of her life was held at the Cabra Chapel on Thursday 18th September 2008 and a memorial evening at Sophia on Friday 31st October 2008.
"I love working in this space...a space that is safe for women to speak about their spirituality, for this to be honoured and respected. A place where we plan actions that reflect our passion for justice, a space that welcomes all women."
"Many things are still similar to when I first came to work in this beautiful spot. The difference is that many more women are involved. Now they are seeking to shape a future that has their stamp."
"Many women love Sophia and I have learned to love those who have come to my place of work during the past years."
"I feel free in this beautiful space: my freedom is about a sense of being able to be myself, to say what I believe."
All quotations are from reflections Susan made over the years and gave to Sophia during winter 2008 in a document entitled "Coordinating Sophia".
We at Sophia mourn her passing, and honour a truly great woman and friend.
