Meet Sister Matilda – Saint Francis Catholic Church
One of my favorite things to do is to listen to persons older than me, especially relatives tell stories of times when things were very different. The stories and descriptions that I have heard give dimension to those time periods and bring to life some of that past…if only for a short time.
When the Waco Community formed the non-profit, the Waco History Project whose Mission is to “Connect people of all ages to the community by telling the story of Waco’s diverse past,” it gave me the opportunity to interview some of my relatives and tell their stories at different local forums.
Recently I had the privilege to interview my relatives, Helen Duron Hurtado, Alicia Duron Yglecias and Carol Duron. I also interviewed five other individuals that did not want their names mentioned. Through the interviews I was introduced to one of the most inspirational individuals that lived in Waco that I have never met – Sister Matilda.
