In July 1961 the keys of O’Hern convent and school were handed over to the sisters of St. Joseph, who on the same day opened Archbishop Carroll High School and convent. Twelve sisters came from Our Lady of Fatima Convent at O’Hern to ABC and three were stationed elsewhere. On July 19, Father Bill Stanton, now Msgr., blessed the convent and chapel, which was

named St. After the opening of school, the sisters set up and held an open house on November 15. The 13 sisters in residence welcomed 86 of our sisters as guests that day. In the summer of 1962 and for most summers, the sisters at Carroll welcomed summer residents who were studying at the local colleges. Many of the high school sisters studied out of town. A severe August rainstorm caused basement and first floor flooding. Several sisters lost the contents of their trunks, which were stored in the basement. Edward, chronist, as she puts it, at the time, tells about the flood in great detail. In the fall of 1962, three of the high schools sisters also taught at St. Clare College at our motherhouse. In December 1983, work began on the combination of Turner and Carroll high schools. These two high schools held a joint graduation in June 1984 and by September the full merger of Turner / Carroll High School was in place. The hallmark of the new entity was its education of students of diverse religious, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. In 1987, The Buffalo Public School System bought Carroll high school and convent and four of our sisters closed things out. In 1988, Sister Helen Talbot, principal of Carroll in those transitional years, took a position in Miami to help Cuban families set up a school.

What a wonderful story about ABC's Sr. Jean!

Sister Jeanne Morreall started the Morning Star foster home more than 30 years ago. She had been a school teacher, but wanted to help children with more than just education.

Nobody appreciates teachers like their own kids, and since my mother was an amazing teacher, I know just how talented, hardworking, and just plain amazing all of you are. To any teachers reading this, have a great Teacher Appreciation Week.

A few bumps along the way with the legal questions of yearbooks, but I'm glad this is finally taking some shape. I decided to just go for it. I'll put out more as time allows and also want to encourage others to submit material. Since I only have four yearbooks, it's a little limiting :)
