I greatly admired Mother Angelica and was a fan of her Eternal Word Television Network.

At the time of her death on Easter Sunday, this global religious network, which began humbly in a monastery garage, was reaching 230 million homes in more than 140 countries around the world. Mother Angelica was a speaker, writer, entrepreneur, media mogul, missionary, evangelist, teacher, an abbess of the airwaves.

Not Just a Mother to Catholics

a bus full of mourners from a Baptist association in Huntsville came to the monastery to pay their respects earlier in the week. “She had all faiths come here. She gathered all of God’s children to her.”

Neighboring Center Hill Baptist Church, just up the road from the Our Lady of the Angels Monastery where Mother spent the last years of her life, welcomed pilgrims traveling to the shrine and provided water and snacks. According to Sister Teresa, they also provided flower bouquets for Mother Angelica’s funeral.

“She was an amazing woman,” said Richard Jesse, a member of Center Hill church who once lived next to the monastery gate. He added the monastery has been “such a good neighbor, our brothers and sisters in Christ.”
