Inspired by Fr. Walter Ciszek of "With God in Russia" and Fr. Andrew Apostoli, she was part of religious renewal in the late 1980s.

Mother Lucille Cutrone, a founding member of the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal, died October 27. Mother Lucille died at the Convent of San Damiano in the Bronx, New York, where she resided. She was 77 and had been diagnosed with AML Leukemia.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York, will celebrate her funeral Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral on Monday, November 4.
