Funeral Services for Sister Anne Breitag, OP

For thirty-six years, Sister Anne taught Middle School and Junior High, serving as principal in the later years. In her own words, she described teaching as a reward beyond measure. She wrote, “Working with and for children provides daily chuckles and is a great energy source and positive reinforcer.”

Sister Anne was also aware of the challenges of teaching children and their families in difficult times. Paraphrasing Mother Teresa, Anne wrote that the greatest need in wealthy countries is to “let God’s people know they are loved and that they are lovable.” Sister Anne carried this conviction throughout her ministry – as teacher, administrator, and later as a hospital chaplain.
