Sister Janice Morgan entered the Sisters of Saint Joseph from her home parish, Ss. Peter and Paul in Elmira. She taught at St. Thomas More, Brighton; Immaculate Conception, Ithaca; St. Agnes, Avon; and was principal at St. Francis Xavier, Rochester, and St. Theodore, Gates. She also served as diocesan assistant superintendent of schools.

She then served as director of religious education for Church of the Assumption in Fairport, and as Congregational President for eight years.

“Many times I am asked, ‘Is there life after serving as President?’ My answer is, ‘Yes!'” she said. “From my earliest days, I understood that our SSJ mission is to serve the neighbor, wherever the need.”

Sister Janice said she is grateful to have been gifted with the energy and enthusiasm to then serve as interim superintendent of diocesan Catholic Schools, followed by director of educational ministries for the Congregation at Nazareth Elementary, Nativity Preparatory Academy, and Hope Hall.

Since 2015, she has served in the Congregation’s Office for Mission Advancement as Senior Development Officer. In this role, Sister Janice has fostered meaningful, long-term relationships with friends and donors, strengthening their partnership in support of the SSJ mission.

“My religious vocation has taken me to places I never would have imagined,” she said. “I have met incredible people and formed wonderful relationships. These have enriched and inspired my life. I hope I have done the same for them.”
