"Best wishes for a great celebration from every former student in Two Rivers. Class of 1956, St. Lukes Beeves." Elroy Bever, Two Rivers, WI
"I know the Sisters of St. Agnes. I studied in Colegio Santa Rosa en Mina Rosita, Nicaragua." Amada del Socorro Castillo Ramos, Miami, Florida
"CSA days were and are always held in a special place in my heart. I entered in 1965 and left in 1975...during those ten years, I made so many good friends in CSA. I will always cherish my life as a Sister of St. Agnes and now as an Associate of the Sisters. I owe the Sisters of St. Agnes a great deal for you have helped me grow spiritually and I hold a special place in my heart for you each day for giving to me that love of prayer and spiritual growth. I love coming back as part of the Vision Circle three times a year to see the sisters and visit with them. I will truly miss this, when I go off Vision Circle next year. I had the sisters all the way through Grade School, High School and Marian College. To them also, I owe a great deal of thanks for the great education I received. I love being part of such a great and wonderful group of women who continue daily to move forward where the needs are in our world today." An Associate of CSA Sheila Boos (Ross), Hays, KS
"While pride is the sin 'that goeth before the fall,'I think the good Lord would be quick to forgive the justifiable pride that the Sisters of Saint Agnes have in their 150 year history of serving others. The good they have done will live on long after the last sister turns off the lights. As for myself, I am indebted to the nuns who tried to teach me through grade and high school. They did fail to teach me humility, despite setting a fine example. Thus, I take considerable pride in being a nephew of Sister M. Carlotta, CSA (a/k/a Esther Breister 1900-1983). In an age when few women held management positions, she served as Principal of many schools in four states during a very long teaching career. Do enjoy the chance to look back on a job well done during this sesquicentennial year."CSA Guest

"Dear Sisters, Congratulations on your 150 years of service. I am from a family of seven children all taught by the Sisters of Saint Agnes. Our school is Saint Marys in Altoona, PA. What fond memories my sisters I have! Great school plays, great music taught by Sister Regis. I think back to those years often. Love and Prayers" Victoria Batrus-Shaffer, Cragsmoor, New York

"I have had contact with the Sisters of Saint Agnes for over 60 years (nearly 70!). I'm sure they have helped me develop into who I am! I won't be able to be in Fond du Lac to help celebrate but they all have my best wishes, admiration, love and prayers." HarrietWeis

"The Sisters of St. Agnes are spiritual daughters of Christ and don't forget the charism of their congregation. As Sisters of St. Agnes they are Sisters who are true witnesses to our faith involved in many ministries here in the Diocese of Phoenix whether chancellor, physics teacher, spiritual director at Newman Center and the parish ministries. These Sisters have helped me discern my religious vocation. Happy 150th anniversary, Sisters." Steven Torres, Peoria, Arizona
