Mary Angeline Teresa McCrory
Mary Angeline Teresa McCrory, O.Carm., (21 January 1893 – 21 January 1984), was an Ulster-born immigrant to the United States. She became a Roman Catholic Religious Sister who worked as an advocate for the impoverished elderly, founding a new religious congregation for this purpose, the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm. Her cause for canonization has been opened, and her life has been acknowledged by the Holy See as one of heroic virtue. She is honored by the Catholic Church as venerable.
==Early life==
She was born and baptized Brigid Teresa McCrory to a Scots Irish family in Mountjoy, now known as Brockagh, County Tyrone, i Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom. When she was seven years old, her family moved to Scotland. At the age of 9 or 10 on her own she changed the spelling of her name from Brigid to Bridget. In 1912, aged 19, she left home for France to join the Little Sisters of the Poor, a Roman Catholic religious congregation engaged in the care of the destitute elderly. She did her period of novitiate in La Tour, where she was given the religious name by which she is known. After her profession of religious vows, she was sent to the United States.〔(Mother Mary Angeline Teresa McCrory profile )〕
In 1926, McCrory was appointed superior of a nursing home of the Little Sisters of the Poor in the Bronx, New York. While on a retreat the following year, she felt urged to do more for the aged under her care. She felt that the European model of the care of the elderly and many of the customs which the Little Sisters had brought from France did not meet the needs of Americans. In addition, she felt that caring for only the destitute elderly, as is the practice of the Little Sisters, was not sufficient, as old age strikes all classes of people, leaving them alone and frightened.
