Sister Bernadette

I am a Sister of St. Francis of the Neumann Communities. I have been teaching at St. Mary’s Academy since 1984! I grew up on a small, family dairy farm in Brookfield, NY. This gave me a great appreciation of God’s creation in all its aspects.

Before arriving at St. Mary’s Academy, I taught at other Syracuse Diocesan schools at various grade levels. I have a Bachelors from Catholic University and a Masters from Scranton University.

The most rewarding aspect about being a teacher at St. Mary’s is enabling the students to grow in the knowledge of their unique gifts that God has given to each one of them and of His great love for them as individuals.
