There, Rosary Hall, an alcoholic Treatment ward was founded, where the Sister worked until her death in April 1, 1966.
Sister Mary Ignatia has been referred to as the “Angel of Mercy” and/or “The Angel of Alcoholics Anonymous” because of her extensive work with Dr. Bob and other alcoholics over a period of 28 years.
