Sister Mary Joseph Angela Parker, celebrating 75 years, is a native of New Orleans who grew up in St. Joan of Arc Parish and was taught by the Sisters of the Holy Family. Her desire grew to serve God in the same manner. Sister has taught in both elementary and secondary schools in Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana. She served 33 years as a teacher and administrator at St. Mary’s Academy. She is fondly remembered by her students as Sister “Jo.”
