Mother Mary Aloysius Peach, O.S.U. (December 5, 1892 – July 7, 1980) was an Ursuline nun and the eighth poet laureate of Delaware.
She was born Lucy Peach, the second of nine children of a Woodstock, Maryland stonemason. Her mother was organist for St. Alphonsus Church in Woodstock for 69 years. Peach's childhood interest in poetry was encouraged by the Jesuits at nearby Woodstock College.[1]
At the age of 19, she entered the Ursuline Order in 1913.[1]
She published three books of poetry: Divine Paratrooper (1952), Divine Lapidary (1961), and One Fold, One Shepherd (1962).
