South Carolina nun, “The Angel of Ground Zero,” dies in Aiken
Sister Cindy Catherine Mahoney, known after 9/11 as “The
Angel of Ground Zero,” died of lung disease in Aiken, SC, on the
Feast of All Saints.
Mahoney was a member of St. Augustine of Canterbury, Aiken. She
entered the convent of St. Helena in Augusta, Georgia, in 2000
after a discernment process at St. Augustine, and the following
year, in early September, went to spend time at the order’s
house in New York City.
When Mahoney, a former emergency medical technician, heard that
a plane had crashed into one of the World Trade Center towers,
she took an ambulance to what is now Ground Zero, where she
spent the next several months blessing victims’ remains and
helping comfort those who were grieving. It was Mahoney’s belief
that her illness was caused by the inhalation of toxic dust at
Ground Zero.
She will be honored by Senator Lindsay Graham with a memorial in
the US Congressional Records. Sister Cindy Catherine Mahoney was
a real hero and an exemplary saint in our own time.
