Sister Mary Leonora Tucker, SSND, recently visited St. Brigid/Our Lady of Hope Regional School in Westbury to discuss her book, I Hold Your Foot: The Story of My Enduring Bond With Liberia.
Sister Leonora was the principal of St. Brigid’s School from 1978 until 1984. After she left St. Brigid’s she joined the School Sisters of Notre Dame mission in Liberia. Last year she wrote a book about her 30 years as a missionary in Liberia and West Africa through civil war and violence.
She visited St. Brigid’s School at 101 Maple Ave. in Westbury on Sunday, Jan. 31, to share her fascinating experiences. The meet and greet, book sale and signing took place in the school library at noon.
