Memories and Condolences

Not sure what to say?





I was a student at St. Josephs when Sr. Eugene was principal and I was probably the worst behaved of her students, BUT I carry with me to this day the "good" that I learned from the sisters and teachers

63 years of service to the Lord and her students... God Bless you Sr. Eugene
