Dorothy Kazel


Sister Dorothy Kazel, O.S.U. , was an American Ursuline Religious Sister and missionary to El Salvador. On December 2, 1980, she was beaten, raped, and murdered along with three fellow missionaries Maryknoll Sisters Ita Ford, Maura Clarke and laywoman Jean Donovan by members of the military of El Salvador.

Kazel was born Dorthea Lu Kazel to Lithuanian American parents, Joseph and Malvina Kazel, in Cleveland, Ohio. When she joined the Ursulines, a Roman Catholic religious institute in 1960, she took the name Sister Laurentine, in honor of an Ursuline nun martyred during the French Revolution.
