"Drop down dew ye heavens above
and let the clouds rain the just one."
Isaiah 45: 8
"Sister Jewel", as Mother Julia Hunhoff was affectionately called by her sisters, had a lasting effect on our community. She was prioress from 1961-1973, during the difficult times of Vatican II. Her strong and courageous nature helped her make decisions that deeply affected her sisters' lives. Mother Julia also held a great emphasis on renewal and theology, providing her the knowledge and faith to initiate many programs such as small group living, sister participation at Liturgies, family visits, and change in dress. She is respected, remembered, and loved for her humility, confidence, strength, courage, generosity, deep spirituality and compassion, and sincere concern for all.
