Connection to CSJs and their ministries:

Susan attended Immacolata Elementary School and Fontbonne University where many of her teachers were Sisters of St. Joseph. Her love for the charisms of the CSJs brought her back to teach at two CSJ sponsored ministries, St. Joseph Institute for the Deaf and Fontbonne University. At both institutions she taught alongside her mentors and friends, the CSJs. Susan became a CSJ Associate approximately four years ago and has had the honor and pleasure of getting to know many more CSJs and CSJAs through the associate program. She has served on the Awards Committee and Mission Integration Committee at Fontbonne. She also has a connection to St. Joseph’s Academy as her daughter is a graduate. Susan is honored to be asked to serve with other CSJ institution members to help form the St. Joseph Educational Ministry (SJEM).
