Listen to Your Heart
Sad to read about catholic grade schools closing, including the one I attended. Good memories and even better Sisters. Our Lady of Victory in Minneapolis. I'll never forget Sister Mary Magdalen. She was a talented musician. I put one of my interactions with her in my novel, LISTEN TO YOUR HEART. The class pooled their allowances together & gave her a guitar for Christmas. After the holiday, she gave us a concert. Strong, beautiful, and a woman who stuck to her values.
Another school that closed is Guardian Angels in Chaska Minnesota. This school played a large role in my book, LISTEN TO YOUR HEART, about Rosa Kerker and her struggle to follow her passion. She was a very prayerful woman, a pianist, a teacher, and loved by everyone she met. My ancestors from Denmark brought gold to America and donated it to purchase church pews. My 2nd great uncle taught there. And the entire Kerker clan helped with fund raising.

Read a great and deserving tribute about Sisters who emigrated from all over the world to care for soldiers during the Civil War, who educated young minds, taught children musical instruments, worked tirelessly for the church to fund-raise, and who played an integral role in keeping catholic educational system running during the Great Depression.
