Maura Phillips, OP

Sister Maura, who celebrated her 101st birthday on April 25, 2015, is one of the Adrian Dominican Sisters’ premier musicians. She was trained in music from an early age and earned a master’s degree in applied music from Columbia University.

Sister Maura taught music for more than 30 years, including eleven years spent at St. Ambrose School in Grosse Pointe, Michigan; heading the music program at Barry College (now University) in Miami, Florida; and being part of the music department at Siena Heights College (now University) in Adrian.

In the 1970s, she earned her certification in clinical pastoral education and became the director of a senior citizens’ center in Miami, working to meet the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual needs of people including the poor and elderly.
