Posted inDiocesan Dispatch, Obituaries
With grateful hearts, we celebrate the life and legacy of Sister Mary Glavin, SNJM, who entered eternal life on November 2, 2026,  All Souls’ Day.
A beloved educator, mentor, and faithful presence at the Academy of the Holy Names, Tampa, for more than 46 years, Sister Mary devoted her life to faith, education, and the personal growth of generations of students. From serving as the first principal of the girls’ elementary division beginning in 1968 to her many years as a high school guidance counselor and theology teacher, Sister Mary made an extraordinary impact on the AHN community.
Known for her warmth, wisdom, and genuine care for each student, she encouraged young people to lead lives of purpose and significance, reminding them to strive not simply to be the best in the world, but the best for the world. Her influence will live on in the countless lives she helped shape.
The Academy community is invited to a Memorial Mass celebrating Sister Mary’s life on Tuesday, November 24, at 11:00 am in the Chapel of Blessed Marie-Rose Durocher.  Rev. Msgr. Michael G. Muhr, Director of Ministry to Priests, Diocese of St. Petersburg, will preside, with a reception immediately following in the Brady Center.
