COMMUNITY

SISTER JEREMY SITTER

I was born on a farm near Buxton, North Dakota.  When I was three years old, my parents, John and Mary Sitter and older brother James moved to Ipswich, South Dakota.

I attended Holy Cross Grade School, Ipswich High School and one year of college at Mount Marty, in Yankton, SD.

My parents and Benedictine teachers encouraged my vocation.  I also had an aunt that was a Religious in Crookston, MN.

After teaching for three years at St. Joseph Indian School in Chamberlain, SD, I entered Sacred Heart Convent, Yankton, SD.  I am also a founding member of Mother of God Monastery.

I have taught in elementary schools in Ft. Yates and Glen Ullin, ND and am presently teaching at St. Joseph's School, Pierre, SD.

Some highlights during my years as a Religious have been; making a Benedictine Renewal for 4 weeks in Rome in 2001.  Also during the month of June 2005, I spent time in Estonia with my nephew Morgan Hammerbeck, I made the trip there with my sisters; Frances, Mary Jane and some friends as well.
