One Woman’s Legacy

November 2, 2022

Many came to celebrate Sr. Joan’s 60 years at Xavier! Family and friends came from all over the nation to celebrate. Governor Ducey said, “Students come here to learn, and they leave here to serve.” Sr. Joan & two other BVMs from Iowa’s Mother House were presented with leis from Tonga — a student’s mother made them! Sr. LaDonna Manternach, President of Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Sr. Carol Marie Baum. We thank Sr. Joan for her leadership over the last 60 years!🐊 GO GATORS!
