The Neuzil Family (Mildred Marie center)
On January 10, 2000 , the first year of the New Millennium, this humble, holy soul, Sister Mary Ephrem (Mildred Marie) Neuzil, at age 83, was set free from the cross she had so willingly embraced for Our Lady of America. She was set free to receive her full communion with the Most Holy Trinity. Her funeral Mass was celebrated at the Basilica of Our Lady of Consolation in Carey, Ohio by nephew Fr. Gregory Neuzil. Friends from around the country traveled to Cary that snowy winter day to bid her farewell. Fifty white roses were presented and the song Our Lady of America (written by sister) was sung by Marty Rotella. She was laid to rest in a simple casket, at St. Wendolyn’s Cemetery, Fostoria, Ohio.

A prayer composed by Sister Mary Ephrem in 1941 reflects so beautifully the mission entrusted to her, the message Our Lady so ardently desires for her children:
Our Lord Jesus said to Sister Mary Ephrem on July 1, 1955 on the Feast of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ:
“Thou thyself, shall be the Sign,
the Sign I will Give to the world.
A little, white dove, a Sign of Peace, yes, the Reign of Peace in the world.”
Mildred Marie Neuzil – visionary of Our Lady of America, The Immaculate Virgin – was born on the Feast of Our Lady, Queen of the Angels, to Austrian parents, John and Anna Neuzil, in Brooklyn, NY. She was Baptized at Most Holy Trinity Church, and shortly after moved to Cleveland Ohio. At the age of 14, Mildred entered the active religious congregation of the Sisters of the Precious Blood, a Papal Community, in Dayton Ohio – entering on the Feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary. Three years later Mildred made her first vows as a professed religious. She received the name Sister Mary Ephrem, a name that means “doubly fruitful”. She carried out her duties mostly in domestic work and as a kindergarten teacher, then as a contemplative sister. In 1937, when she was sent to the Chancery in Cincinnati, Ohio, it was there that God gave her a holy priest – who later became Archbishop – to guide her: Rev. Paul Francis Leibold. It was to him that Sister entrusted her mystical experiences.
Our Lord Jesus Speaking to Sister Mary Ephrem, also of Sister’s confessor Archbishop Paul F. Leibold:
“I seek always the humble and lowly of heart and since I have found two such, so I have Entrusted to them a Great Mission, but become not vain, for I have Chosen him and you only because of your unworthiness and lack of virtue.
Let this thought be with you always, that you may remember that it is I Working through you, Who sanctify you for His Glory and the salvation of souls, You are poor instruments in My hands, but through you a Great Work will be accomplished.
I AM the Great Sculptor of souls. With Hammer and Chisel I Form them that they may Glorify My Father by their beauty and perfection. Be pliant in My Hands, oh My two lowly ones,
My Priest and My little, white dove,
and then will you be formed into My Likeness and through you I will be Formed in souls.” (Letter 2/20/54)
