Prayers Answered for 'America's Greatest Football Fan'

Feb. 3, 2006 — -- Sister Mary became a nun more than 50 years ago. At her current assignment as chaplain at St. Vincent's Hospital in Indiana, she helps patients and their families during times of sickness.

While her devotion to those in need is evident, so is her devotion to the Indianapolis Colts. That devotion was rewarded on Friday morning when "Good Morning America" surprised Sister Mary with the news that she had won its "America's Greatest Football Fan" contest.

Sister Mary received two tickets to Super Bowl XL this Sunday, a limo to take her to Detroit, hotel accommodations, and two all-access passes to ESPN The Magazine's Next Experience.

She will also dine on Friday night with one of her heroes, Peyton Manning.

Devoted to God, the Colts … and Peyton Manning

Sister Mary's love for Manning was clear in her entry tape. She was filmed cruising through the halls of St. Vincent's on her motorized scooter -- completely decorated with Colts paraphernalia -- dressed head to toe in Colts gear, including her Peyton Manning jersey.

Sister Mary said she didn't pray for outcomes on football games, just for the ability to accept the outcomes. But she does bet on them.

Her Super Bowl prediction: Steelers 27, Seahawks 25.
