She attended the University of Saint Thomas in Saint Paul, MN, for her undergraduate degree and Holy Apostles College in Cromwell, CT for her Master of Arts in Moral Theology. Mother Gloria Therese has served her community as Vocation Directress, Novice Directress, Retreat Directress and General Councilor. She has also served within the community’s apostolates of Education and Healthcare.
