“I have enjoyed a varied career in teaching, administration, religious education, and Congregational administration,” said Sister Catherine Judge, formerly Sister Roselle.

“A native of Our Lady of Good Counsel parish, I taught at St. Thomas More, Nazareth Hall, St. Paul, Oswego; and St. Mary, Waterloo schools; and served as principal in Waterloo and St. Stephen’s in Geneva. Other ministries included Holy Childhood School, religious-education director at Assumption, Fairport; and coordinator at the Motherhouse and infirmary.

“Catholic-school education, combined with my home life where religion played a major role, formed the backdrop for my future vocation.

“At Nazareth Academy, I met the Sisters of Saint Joseph and knew then my future would be with them. ‘Meeting the needs of the day’ as these Sisters did, encouraged me to become an educator. For 35 years as a teacher and administrator, I enjoyed happy and rewarding days.

“I am grateful for the many dedicated persons who have graced my life. I ask God’s blessing on each as I celebrate 70 years of religious life.”
