Biography:
For more than 40 years, Sister Mary served as a beacon of light to children teaching first, second and fourth grades in parish elementary schools across South Dakota and Minnesota and then ministering as a childcare provider at Sandcastle Child Care in St. Paul, Minn.
Drawn to educating adults, Sister became active in teaching English as a Second Language. Before being asked to do pastoral care at Bethany Convent, a nursing and retirement home for Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet (CSJ) sisters, Sister Mary had volunteered at Bethany Convent for many years.
Although she is retired, Sister Mary is still very active in social justice issues, volunteer work and doing activities with the sisters.
