Hello fellow Berlinites. A celebration took place in Berlin on the 60th Diamond Jubilee of Sister Anne Therese on February 6, 1977. Sister Anne was a French teacher for 62 years and a nun in this city for 40 years. Thirty of these years were at St. Joseph School on 3rd Avenue.
Her life in Berlin had been enjoyable and she loved the mountain scenery, along with amicability of the local citizens. Mostly though, it was her students and the subsequent mutual admiration they and Sister Anne had for each other that were most rewarding to her. Many former students would still call her asking for prayers and employment help.
