Sis. T. Recieves An Award

Sister Trinitas Hernandez, 67, a sister with the Daughters of Charity for nearly 50 years and founder of the Rosalie Rendu Center in East Palo Alto, was honored on March 20 by the California State Assembly and Assemblyman Ira Ruskin, D-Redwood City, as the 21st Assembly District Woman of the Year.
Sister Hernandez — or Sister T, as she is known — started the center at the Carriage Manor Apartments in 1998 to offer English classes to low-income immigrant families living in the complex. The center now serves 75 to 100 people a year, providing 40 units of affordable housing, adult English classes (she teaches three a day), a preschool playgroup and after-school programs.
In 2005, Sister Hernandez was a recipient of the Jefferson Award for Public Service, administered by the American Institute of Public Service.
