In 1971, I received an MA in Religious Studies
at Mundelein College, Chicago, taught Religion
at Immaculata HS, music at Carmel, and Guerin
High Schools. Peace and Justice issues beckoned
me to work during the summers with blind children
in Lewistown, Pennsylvania. , Hispanic children
in Los Angeles, California. and a Chicago food
pantry. I was privileged to sing with the Apollo
Chorus and Chicago Symphony.
In 1980, the community gave “The Sound
of Music” at Beech Grove HS where I was English
and Drama teacher.
In 1996, I became SSD at Hermitage Healthcare
Center, caring for 52 terminally ill patients,
plus music at St. Thomas Aquinas. I love working
here. Our residents are treasures. Heaven will
be better when they arrive. In 1997, I left St.
Thomas to be Liturgy/Music coordinator at the
monastery, and continued working at St. Paul Hermitage.
I am beginning my 30th year singing- first with
Chicago Apollo Chorus, Liberty-Fremont Concert
Choir, Evansville Philharmonic, and Indianapolis
Symphonic Choir.
For Benedictine life, music, and opportunities
to serve those in need, I thank God and my Benedictine
Community.
