Sister Agnes celebrated her Golden Jubilee in 2014. At that time she summarized her life: “ I have had 50 years of tremendous graces: daily Mass, the Blessed Sacrament in our midst, special family members, rare and holy sisters, the guiding hand of priests and great companions on my religious journey. I have been able to teach and fulfill the joy of my life, teaching. Teaching has always been a delight for me, never work. During all the years of my religious life I’ve known the generous loving guidance of Mary, Joseph and Jesus. They have been the foundation on which I could build a life rooted in faith, hope and love.
