Class of 1972
Now, in 2022, the world feels as chaotic as it did 50 years ago, but we remain strong and optimistic when we lean on each other, being a strength to our loved ones, and allowing others to be a strength for us.
FROM OUR PROVINCIAL PRESIDENT:
Sincerely, Rita Ostry, Provincial President of the Notre Dame Sisters
Some of the Sisters have traveled this year. Sr. Mary Kay Meagher spent two weeks at the Mexican border to volunteer serving people who had immigrated to the United States Four of us traveled to Europe to meet with the Sisters of the Bavarian, Czech, and Slovak Provinces. We were blessed to gather and plan together for the future in person for the first time in years.
I am happy to celebrate the graduates of Notre Dame Academy this year. Some of you may already know me, as I was a graduate of the NDA class of 1965. I was an educator as well, spending more than two decades on the Pine Ridge Reservation at Our Lady of Lourdes in Porcupine, South Dakota. In July, I was selected by my Sisters to serve as the Provincial President, and look forward to four years of serving the community in this new capacity.
This year we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the class of 1972 graduating from NDA. That was a harrowing year to graduate high school and move into college as an adult. The Watergate scandal shook the nation, anti war protests swelled in cities large and small, and bombings were reported in countries from Ireland to the Philippines. The song "Lean on Me" by Bill Withers topped the charts in 1972, and that is what students were doing, leaning on one another. Your class was able to become civically minded, good hearted, and strong women, with your values rooted in Christ's love
We Sisters remain a support for one another as the years go by. For our Sisters in skilled care living communities, we visit often and make sure they remain a part of our community and never feel isolated. We were able to host our Community Weekend in person for the first time this year and could feel one another's presence For those who could not travel (our Sisters ministering in Colorado and Iowa), they watched the event on live stream and participated via phone calls and text messages. Back in 1972, we could not even conceive of these advances that keep us all close, even when far away.
We continue to reach out to people with unmet needs, to nurture in them a conviction of God’s love. We lean on one another to support our ministerial work. We lean on one another for prayer in good times, in uncertain times, and in times of distress We pray, too, for you and your families
NOTRE DAME ACADEMY PAGE 3
We are incredibly grateful for the years we spent together at Notre Dame Academy, as students and teachers. We are blessed for our continued relationships that formed at NDA, and we are always proud of the women you have become. Remember that you can always lean on your fellow graduates, the Sisters, and God in good times and in the challenging ones. Looking forward to seeing all of you at the September Alumnae Reunion.

1953 - Sr. Josita Hanus (Leona), ND
My life continues into the future as I age one day at a time. I keep saying that some day I will be smart enough to retire! Meanwhile, I enjoy and am energized by my ministries as part time chaplain for CHI Hospice and part time working with The Coalition on Human Trafficking especially the Training and Education Committee. I live at Notre Dame Housing among the many other wonderful residents of this facility. It’s a great place to live! Actually my apartment is in the classroom where Sr. Emmanuela taught me/us Geometry! If you haven’t had a chance to visit Notre Dame Housing, come on over some day to see the transformation and to recall your many memories at Notre Dame Academy

Last January 2021, I accidentally broke my left foot and was in the Mitchell Nursing home until March. I am doing well and back to working in my yard, etc. It has been hot and dry here in Western Nebraska. Bye now!
I have been a widow for eight years. I have been busy with my church as hospitality minister, head of our 50+ group, Clean Purificators, a member of our Companions of Mary, a member of our Parish council of Catholic Women, a member of our Ladies Group, and our Quilters

It is hard to believe 72 years have passed since I last walked up that hill. I have very happy memories of my four years at Notre Dame. When I graduated, I never thought I would be here in California. I have been blessed with good health and do enjoy hiking on weekends and visits with the families. Five of my eight children and seven of my 15 grandchildren live nearby. The holidays are always happy and busy.
I continue to work in our Advancement Office as the Memorial and Prayer Associations Coordinator. My ministry keeps the Sisters connected to families at the time of the death of a member of their family. I also send out prayer cards to people at the time of a prayer need and also on the occasion of a special birthday or anniversary. Keeping in touch with our NDA alumnae is also part of my work and having alumnae keep me posted on updated e mail addresses is appreciated.
I like to start the day with Mass at St. Philip Neri Church almost every morning. Each weekday I volunteer in the Notre Dame Housing kitchen.

Nevertheless, I still prepare our music for Sunday Mass and am still in the choir, which has been together for 0 years.
After being a group leader for the Kids Care program at St. James/Seton School for 11 years, I have decided to retire from that part time job. I celebrated my 60th Jubilee as a Notre Dame Sister in 2021.
Well, I have entered the retirement world and am eager to see what it will hold I have more time for prayer and especially the prayer of gratitude for everyone and everything in my life who nourished me to be who I am and will continue to become in the years ahead. A big part of that was my years at NDA. Thank you.

Unbelievable! Where have the past 60 years gone? I treasure my years at Notre Dame and all the life lessons I learned during those years. After graduating from Creighton University, I spent 30 years as a nurse Then after graduating from College of Saint Mary, I worked in medical transcription and also was a medical coder for about 14 years. I moved back to Columbus, Nebraska for about 7 years to be near my aging parents. I have been back in Omaha since 2000. My retirement has included many projects around the house. I hope all is well with all of the 1961 graduates.

Jim and I went to Las Vegas right after Christmas and stayed on Fremont Street and saw a lot of the sights on the "other side of Vegas." Since neither or us gamble we enjoyed the sights. We spent time with old friends from Omaha and their families as well. We took our annual trip to St. Louis and Branson, and I was able to have a nice evening with 17 friends from the trip to the Holy Land. It was a delightful evening.

My favorite thing to do is travel. The past two years have been a struggle. My husband Steve and I hoped to celebrate our 50th anniversary in May of 2020 on a river cruise in Europe. Covid changed our plans. We did celebrate with our two children and their families in the summer of 2021. We all went to Arkansas, stayed in a VRBO rental, and had a wonderful time. We just returned from a cruise that went to Norway and Iceland.
My husband Dick and I are blessed with good health and are enjoying retirement. We divide our time between home in Iowa in the summer and our home in Arizona in the winter. Our families are all growing up with 11 grandkids ranging from 7-27 years old. They are all active in many sports and musical events. One will be joining the Iowa Hawkeyes football team this fall so we will be going to as many games as we can! Go Hawks!

After wanting to go to Medjugorje for over 30 years, we finally got our chance. We paid our deposit in February 2020 for a trip in April. Then Covid hit and our trip was postponed so many times we lost count. Finally, two years later, in April of this year we were able to go. But, two days after we got there, we got Covid and were quarantined until after the rest of our tour group left.

It was very disappointing, but the one full day we had before we got sick (very mild) we hiked up Apparition Hill and halfway up, my rosary links turned gold.

This has been a difficult year John’s cancer caught up with him and he is with Jesus since January. This was to have been an epic year. He would have celebrated his 75th birthday in July. We would have celebrated our 50th anniversary in October. And he did not live to meet our first grandchild. She was born in March. But I have been blessed with the many people who have reached out to me with prayers and extended support in myriad other ways. They have all eased this passage, and I thank them!

We have a garden, which isn't doing the best this year, since it has been so dry. Weeds grow faster then the veggies.
At the beginning of the pandemic I first heard of the “Gift of Living in the Divine Will.” Jesus and Mary instructed Luisa Piccarreta about it for over 60 years and Jesus asked her to write down what he told her. Her main book is the "Book of Heaven" and two other books that are wonderfully written by her are "The 24 Hours of the Passion" and "Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of the Divine Will". There’s a wonderful app that has most of Luisa’s writings called "Divine Will Book of Heaven". I will spend the rest of my life spreading this. Jesus is returning to us the ability to live like Adam would have lived if he hadn’t sinned.

I just heard about this gift at the beginning of the pandemic and started a Flame of Love/Divine Will rosary group with a few people from St. Wenceslaus. We were going to meet on Zoom once a week and we all loved it so much that we decided to meet the very next night. We’ve been saying it every night since (over 500 days). It is so miraculous! We now have people from Arizona, North Dakota, and New York praying with us. I tell them that we are Mary’s prayer warriors!
