“Joyful Thanks” is the theme of this year’s Jubilee celebration of the Sisters of the Divine Savior. A Mass of Thanksgiving will be offered at 11 a.m. at the Sacred Heart School of Theology Chapel, Hales Corners, Wisconsin, followed by a dinner reception for family ad friends in the Seminary Dining Room. Celebrating 60 years of religious profession are: Sisters Maria Elena Arias, Jean Marie Hauck, Teresa Rebholz and Patricia Wieloch.

 Sister Jean Marie Hauck, SDS, ministered as an art teacher at Holy Family School in Huntsville, Alabama, from 1989 to 1996.. For many years she made the bulletin boards and did other art projects for the parish. Previously, she worked as a parish minister in Brookhaven, Mississippi. From 1950 to 1986, she taught elementary grades in Wisconsin, Maryland, Minnesota and Alabama.

 Sister Jean Marie was born in Aberdeen, South Dakota, to Anna and Adam Hauck. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Alverno College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

 Today Sister Jean Marie is retired. One day a week she works with a group making sleeping bags for the homeless. In addition, she is an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion. She is also a great lover of nature and has spent vacation time over the years visiting our National Parks.

 Her favorite leisure activity is reading and she also likes to garden. She is an enthusiastic photographer, an amateur woodcarver and works on three collections.

 “For me, my religious vocation has been a rewarding and fulfilling life,” she said
