Help us remember our Sisters.
In death, we say our ultimate human yes to God. Trusting in God’s power to bring us to the fullness of life, we conclude our earthly life with an act of worship: in the action of death we proclaim God as God, and ourselves as God’s creatures. We are called by God and sent by the community; we go in joy!

- You Are Sent, Constitution of the School Sisters of Notre Dame
Sister Michaeline was in her 99th year and in her 80th Jubilee year! She was always cheerful and readily assisted others. Whatever she did was done to perfection. She was especially attentive to her spiritual life. The Notre Dame Academy boarders recall that as she supervised them in the evenings, she would be praying the rosary.
In high school she was part of a group of students privileged to help Father Mark de Coste, CSsR, with his Apostolate to the Deaf. They were taught sign language, and on one Sunday each month stood on the steps leading to the sanctuary and signed Father’s conference and the hymns for the service.
Inspired by her childhood Sunday School teacher, Sister Mary Ellen, Georganne “felt the desire to be like her someday.” After over 50 years as a teacher, she and her dear friend Sister Catherine Goodell were awarded The Lux in Tenebris Award from St. Thomas Aquinas HS.
