After immigrating to Canada in 1952, Rosina and Joseph worked tirelessly to raise their family and they valued the opportunities offered to them by their new homeland. Rosina was a dedicated parishioner and supporter of St. Mary’s Church and had a special devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Over the years she enjoyed the experience and fellowship of many bus pilgrimages to various shrines throughout Ontario.
