She entered the Ursuline Sisters in July 1940, making her vows in January 1943. She received her bachelor of arts degree from the College of New Rochelle in New York and her master of arts degree from DePaul University in Chicago, doing post graduate work at the University of Dayton in Ohio, and St. Louis University.
