“I am grateful to God for the thousands of lives (students, parents, grandparents and others) that have touched my life with kindness, wisdom and love in a multitude of ways over these past 70 years and for many of them who still maintain close contact in friendship and love,” said Sister Kay. “Bishop Hickey was so supportive in my beginning administrative years and the Basilians at Christ the King (St. Kateri) culminated my last ten years of educational administration with their loving support and prayer.”
