Apostle of Peace Available for Sale

Sister Karen Klimczak’s, SSJ, life and legacy are celebrated in a half-hour documentary produced by Daybreak TV Productions of the diocesan Office of Communications. Apostle of Peace, available on DVD or VHS, includes interviews with Father Roy Herberger of SS. Columba-Brigid, Sister Jean Klimczak, OSF, and Sister Rosalind Rosolowski, CSSF, among others.

Any incoming orders for Apostle of Peace will be available for $7 (instead of $12.95). This amount is close to cost. Daybreak TV Productions is recommending that a donation be given to “The Window Fund” which will cover the cost of a stained glass window dedicated to Sister Karen and will be placed in SS. Columba-Brigid Church. Checks can be made out to Father Roy Herberger at SS. Columba Brigid, 418 N. Division St., Buffalo, 14204.

Sister Karen’s legacy remains with the signs “I leave peaceprints” and “Nonviolence begins with me” all over Western New York. Her message carries on with Bissonette House, named in honor of another proponent of nonviolence, Father Joseph Bissonette.

Father Herberger said, “She lived. She didn’t preach, she didn’t teach. She lived the Pascal mystery – life, death and resurrection.”
