“today I rise to honor Sister Rosemary Lynch for her lifetime of promoting peace throughout Nevada, the United States, and the entire world. Sister Lynch recently celebrated her 93rd birthday, and I am pleased to recognize her life and achievements before the U.S. Senate. Sister Lynch was born in Phoenix, AZ, but her spiritual service in the Franciscan Order brought her to Las Vegas after periods in Mexico, Europe, Africa, and Indonesia. She began her devotion to the Franciscans more than 75 years ago and eventually ascended to an administrative post within the order. Spending 16 years in Italy helping to manage the order's global organization, Sister Lynch still found time to travel the world to deliver her message of compassion. These days, Sister Lynch can be found at the Franciscans' house on Bartlett Street in Las Vegas, where she devotes her day to assisting the underprivileged community of the city. Sister Lynch's age has not slowed her commitment to spread peace throughout her community. Her boundless energy is apparent in the daily early morning walks she takes through her neighborhood and the unflagging devotion to combating poverty she displays through her work at the Franciscan house. She speaks five languages, a testament to her incredible mind and her experience in spreading peaceful ideas throughout the world.”
