Sr. Mary Faith was my homeroom and religion teacher my senior year at Holy Angels Academy '63-'64. Holy Angels was also Sister's alma mater. She was a very intelligent and caring person. In later years I saw her at the Motherhouse when she was in charge of the art program for Dubuque seniors. She was always a pleasure to see because she was so full of enthusiasm. It is wonderful that she was mentioned at the celebration of Mass the year my class was celebrating its 50th year since graduation.

Sr. Faith influenced my youthful mind at Holy Angels Academy in Milwaukee 9/1960-6/1964. She was a a joyful person who shared her joy & faith everyday. We remembered her at our alumni brunch...seemed fitting that she was mentioned out loud at our 50th reunion from HAA. Prayers to her family & community.
