Sister Regina Ciukaj (Sister Mary Thomas), a Sister of the Holy Cross, was born in Chicago, Illinois where, with her family, she enjoyed the rich culture of her Polish heritage. She died in peace at Saint Mary’s Convent at the age of 77. She served for 51 years as teacher and principal in primary and middle schools in Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. After completing her service at one school she wanted people to know that “I tried to make every person and child know I cared about him or her personally.” She had a list of seven suggestions for parents to help their children go successfully through schools which could easily be applied today.
