2006 Alumnae Reunion
Over 130 Academy alums gathered for their reunion at the monastery this weekend. The reunion brought women from as far as Equador, Mexico, California, Arizona, New York, New Jersey, and many states in between. From 102-year-old Sister Carla Mitchell, class of 1921, to 22-year-old Katie Devitt, class of 2002, the "girls" enjoyed reminiscing about their days in the Academy and catching up on news of classmates and friends.

Alums Sister Helen Maurer '39 at piano and Sister Mary Louise (Gloria) Uebelhor '60 on keyboard, along with Sister Kimberly Ann Mandelkow, provided a bit of dinner music. They played a sampling of music which the sisters will be recording for a new CD in July. The recording will feature instrumental music for reflective listening — original compositions by Sister Mary Louise and other sisters, as well as familiar hymns and classical pieces. The CD will be ready in time for Christmas giving.
