We at the Sister Thea Bowman Foundation mourn the loss of Dr. Leonard Jennings. Dr. Jennings was instrumental in establishing our work alongside Mary Lou Jennings and Sister Thea Bowman. Dr. Jennings will be missed but his legacy of reaching out to help others will live through the work of our Foundation.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Foundation can be made at the link below.

A CATHOLIC EDUCATION SHOULD BE ACCESSIBLE TO ANYONE REGARDLESS OF ECONOMIC MEANS!
“I think the difference between me and some people is that I’m content to do my little bit. Sometimes people think they have to do big things in order to make change. But if each one would light a candle, we’d have a tremendous light.”
-Sister Thea Bowman, FSPA
