(Everyday For Life Canada via LifeSiteNews) — Dorothy Bob joined the Sisters of St. Ann in 1960 in British Columbia. Nothing unusual about that. What isn’t so usual is that she was the first indigenous woman to enter the order of nuns.
She chose the name Sister Mary Juan Diego. Sr. Bob was the daughter of Christopher and Cordelia Bob of the Fountain Indian Band. Sr. Bob died on February 24, 2025, at the age of 92.
There is more, much more. Sr. Bob was also a student and later a cook at the Kamloops Indian Residential School. It was the Kamloops Band that on May 27, 2021, made the claim they had found “the remains of 215 children” at the school. Nearly four years later and several excavations no graves have been found, not one.
