The Legacy of Sister Margaret McCaffrey: “The Conscience of Shreveport” Can Still Be Seen Today
April 27, 2026
Towards the back of Shreveport’s historic Oakland Cemetery, the grave marker for Sister Margaret McCaffrey sits, shimmering a brilliant blue. Her simple rectangular marker reads “Child of the Trinity” and “Friend of the poor,” one under the other. Her grave is largely inconspicuous sitting beside the massive markers for the august names of Shreveport past.
Called the “Conscience of Shreveport” and “Mother Teresa of Louisiana,” Sister Margaret’s legacy is far larger than that simple stone could ever express.
