She earned her B.A. in Elementary Education at Anna Maria College and her Masters in Counseling from Fitchburg State University. In 1956 through 1998, she taught in various schools in the Albany, Providence, and Worcester Diocese. The greatest number of years were in the Worcester Diocese at St. Anthony’s in Fitchburg and Saint Anna’s in Leominster. In 1998 Sr. Janet established the Beacon of Hope program with Sr. Loretta Ciccarelli in Leominser. This program for mentally challenged individuals with developmental disabilities provided a much needed ministry, and has grown through the years. Sr. Janet has remained an active part of this ministry until her struggle with cancer made it impossible. The program continues through the generous assistance of St. Mark’s Church in Leominster, MA.
