Police are investigating the deaths of two Catholic nuns after they missed work. The pair were found together in a Mississippi home where they lived. Both worked as nurse practitioners at different locations.
Sister Paula Merrill was previously a nurse with the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth in Kentucky. Sister Margaret Held was a nurse with the Sisters of St. Francis School in Milwaukee.
Police say the par were killed in an apparent homicide. They do not believe a gun was involved; the pair were killed by other means.
There is no apparent motive.
We must pray for the repose of our sisters and that justice is served.
