24 Vocations Spawned From Three Families

Sister Agnes Marie Setter, OSF, recently observed the 60th anniversary
of her entrance into the religious life with a concelebrated Mass of 
Thanksgiving at Fourteen Holy Helpers parish, Gardenville.
Chef celebrant was Sister Agnes Marie's nephew, Rev. John G. Strum. S. J. A., 
dinner followed in the school hall.

Sister Agnes Marie comes from a family rich in religious vocations.
Her great-grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Ullman, came to the U.S. from Germany in 
1845.

Although her great-grandmother was a staunch Protestant, 
her great-grandfather raised his three daughters Catholics.
Each one of those daughters (one was Sister Agnes' grandmother) raised a 
family, and their children, in turn, began families of their own.
Within the two generations, there are 24 priests, religious and Brothers.

In addition to Sister Agnes Marie, living relatives who are religious 
include; 
Sister Noreen Sturm, O.S.F.;
Sister Aquinas Schmitt, O.S.F.; 
Sister Margaret Hanzlian, O.S.F.; 
Sister Frances Teresa, R.S.M.;
Sister Alberta Van Remmen, R.S.M.; 
and Sister Eileen Poorten, G.N.S.H.
Numbered in the family are six priests and three brothers: 
Rev. John G. Strum, S. J. 
Rev. William Poorten, S. J.;
Rev. John Meyer, O. M. I.; 
Rev. Gregory Eichenlaub, O. S. B.; 
Rev. Allen Meyer, O. S. B.; 
Rev. Bernard Roswach, O. S. B.;
Brother John Walter, S. J.; 
Brother Vincent Hoerner, C. S. S. R.;
