Harry Purpur, superintendent of Catholic schools, far left, reviews the program for Oct. 23 with, Dominican Sister Rosemary Hickmann, associate superintendent; keynote speaker Sister Clare Fitzgerald, School Sisters of Notre Dame, center; and James Cooney, associate superintendent, right.
Sister Hickmann said of the keynote speaker, “Sister Fitzgerald is recognized as one of two icons in Catholic education today. She was extremely inspirational and offered a challenge for educators to meet the ‘crisis’ of Catholic education today.”
