With a heavy heart, we share the sad news that Sister Miriam Erb, CSA, vice president of Mission & Ministry at the St. Vincent Charity Health and Healing Hub, passed into the loving arms of the Lord on December 27. She entered the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine on August 30, 1957, and professed final vows on August 22, 1965. For nearly 70 years, she embodied the charism of her religious community and was a radiant example of God’s loving spirit. A true beacon of hope, justice and love, Sr. Miriam’s joyful spirit illuminated every community she served with the light of God’s mercy and grace.
