Three Nuns from the Ranch (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781975807498)

Sister Kathleen was born in Salida, Colorado, in 1929. She feels fortunate to come from a family of three boys and four girls who worked side by side with their parents on a ranch in the Arkansas Valley homesteaded by her dad and uncle.
Sister Kathleen attended grade and high school in Buena Vista, Colorado. She attended Mount Saint Scholastica College in Atchison, Kansas, where she joined the Benedictine Sisters in June 1949. She received her M.S. in Biology at St. Mary's College in Winona, Minnesota, and a B.S. in Nursing at the University Hospital program in Denver, Colorado. Sister Kathleen taught school for about thirty years in Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska, and in Colorado schools. After becoming a nurse, she worked at Penrose Hospital in the nursery and intensive care nursery. Sister Kathleen was in charge of the infirmary at Benet Hill Monastery while also teaching part time at Benet Hill Academy. She later returned to nursing at Penrose Hospital for a number of years.
Sister Kathleen now enjoys her retirement at the Benet Hill Monastery in Colorado Springs where she continues to appreciate her prayer life, serve her community, and find peace in the beauty of the surrounding Black Forest and Pikes Peak in the distance.
