Sixty Years of Education, Faith and Sisterhood

The 1986 Pacesetters and the Ireland reunion

In April 2023, twenty-one members of the Class of 1986 travelled to Ireland to honour and thank the Missionary Sisters of the Holy Rosary who had educated them.

The former students reunited with retired teachers and principals, including Rev. Sr. Mary Neville and Rev. Sr. Nuala Lahart. The reunion received international media coverage and showed the lasting values, educational opportunities and lifelong sisterhood created at Lourdes.
