Dear Friends, the SCMC family ask for your prayers for the repose of the soul of our dear Sister Charles Marie, SCMC.
Sister M. Charles Marie Gwiazdowski , SCMC, joined her Lord in Eternity early Thursday morning, May 7, 2026 after a long illness. She was born in Norwich CT in 1943, the daughter of Lillian (Arabik) and Frank Gwiazdowski, both of whom predeceased her. Sister attended school in Norwich and at the Academy of the Holy Family in Baltic before entering the Sisters of Charity of Our Lady, Mother of the Church on September 8, 1961. She professed perpetual vows on August 15, 1970.
Sister served in the apostolate of teaching at Connecticut Catholic schools in Baltic, Taftville, Willimantic, Manchester, North Grosvenordale and Norwich, and shared her musical talent with the elderly at Regina Pacis Villa in Pomfret from 2003 to 2005. Sister then enjoyed assisting local parishes as organist for weekend Masses and weddings until declining mobility brought her back to the Motherhouse where she taught music at St. Joseph School until her retirement in 2016.
