This is Sister Bernadine of the Sisters of St. Joseph Convent in Erie, PA. Sister Bernadine is 102 years young and hasn’t heard mass properly in many years. Recently, the convent added a hearing loop to their chapel.
When Sister heard mass through the hearing loop for the first time in the chapel, she giggled. Her absolute joy at hearing sound from the pulpit again caused her to burst out in laughter that lifted everyone.
