WHERE
ARE THEY NOW ?
Sr. Louise Hoeing
The invitation to “Come Follow Me” led
me to the Monastery Immaculate Conception after
my junior year at St. Agnes Academy. I was a little
anxious about this step and as we drove up the hill
to the monastery I told my Dad that I thought this
might be a mistake. He told me to try it for a couple
of weeks! Now, after 54 years, I am still seeking
God in the Benedictine way of life. This path has
given me many opportunities for both spiritual and
educational growth. I have been blessed with many
meaningful friendships in the Benedictine communities
of Ferdinand, Our Lady of Grace, and my places of
ministry. As an elementary teacher, I taught at
St. Ambrose in Seymour, Indiana, and St. Anthony
in Clarksville, Indiana where I also served as principal
three years. Ministering at Our Lady of Grace Academy
as principal enriched my life with love and friendships
and led me to my next ministry as guidance counselor
at Bishop Chatard High School where I presently
serve. When asked when will I retire, I respond,
“when I get it right!” I have been blessed
with parents who nurtured my vocation, six brothers
and sisters and their spouses, who continue to support
my vocation along with numerous nieces, nephews,
great nieces and nephews who fondly call me “Sis”.
I could not have persevered without the support
of the communities in my life and I continue to
pray for all who have touched my life both living
and deceased.
