Mother Angelica, founder of the Alabama-based Eternal Word Television Network, died Sunday at the age of 92, according to the network.
Her death on Easter came after a struggle with the “after effects of a stroke,” EWTN said in a statement on the network’s website.
MONTGOMERY–Governor Robert Bentley on Sunday released a statement on the death of Mother Angelica.
“On this Easter Sunday, it is only fitting that the Lord chose today to call home one of his humble servants, Mother Angelica. She devoted her life to ministry, converting untold numbers of people to the church. She left an indelible mark on Alabama, the Catholic Church and the world as a whole. She will always be remembered for her personal sermons and she will live on forever in the hearts of all those that her sermons have touched through her gift to the world, the Eternal Word Television Network.”
