Juana Resto

Remembered for her kind and generous spirit, Sister Resto was greatly appreciated by the Latino community and served for a number of years supporting the Hispanic apostolate.  Known as the "Mother Teresa" of the South End for her pastoral work, Sister Resto endeared herself to numerous families, and was present for baptisms, confirmations, first communions, weddings, births and deaths.   She helped translate for Spanish-speaking people for their doctors’ appointments, and at-home and hospital visits. Sister Resto served in Boston at Holy Cross Cathedral where she served in Eucharistic ministry, and assisted at the Blackstone Elementary School. The people she served and the Boston RSCJ loved her.
