Sister Kathleen Reichert

I was thinking of Ma Soeur yesterday as Notre Dame burned. How she would have been so sad to see that happening to such a beautiful place. I read an article very late last night that had pictures of the inside of the burned cathedral and saw how the cross still hung in all the destruction. I could practically hear her say "there was God He's in the details". Thinking of you all on the anniversary of her passing.

The modern language department at SCHS was blessed to have Ma Soeur teaching French for so many years. We always looked forward to her quick whit and humorous comments. She was very helpful and patient when I stepped into her world one year to add a French I class to my teaching schedule. Ma soeur struggled with health issues in her later years at SCHS but nevertheless managed to remain faithful to her duties as a teacher. Her dedication to her students was exemplary.

I minored in French, studied abroad in college, and returned for fun years later. I will always be grateful for how she developed my cultural competency, cultural empathy, and love of the French cultural. Ma...

Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
que ton nom soit sanctifié,
que ton règne vienne,
que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses,
comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation,
mais délivre-nous du Mal.

Amen

Thank you for all the years of dedicated service at SCHS. I have many fond memories of time spent in French class with you. Que Dieu vous accorde la paix éternelle, Ma Soeur.
