Sister Carol Cimino, SSJ, Ed D

Sister Carol Cimino is a Sister of Saint Joseph of Rochester, New York. Currently, she is a national consultant for the William H. Sadlier Co., a publisher of textbooks, with offices in New York City.

She has been a teacher and an administrator on all levels of Catholic education and currently is an adjunct faculty member of the Catholic School Leadership Institute at Manhattan College. She was also a development director for three high schools and continues to teach and give workshops on the marketing of Catholic schools.

Sister Carol has written numerous articles for education journals. Her book, Ensuring a Future Full of Hope has been used by parent groups and boards to assist in recruitment efforts. She has written a series of thumbnail pamphlets, which were published by NCEA to help school boards become more effective, and her tuition manual, Life’s Other Certainty, is used by schools of several religious denominations.

Sister Carol travels the country giving talks and workshops to anyone who will listen. Although she has given hundreds of these, however, she is proudest of the fact that she is still the only religious woman to have been a 3-day champion on “Jeopardy!”.

One thing I have asked of the Lord / this will I seek after / +++ / That I may dwell in the house of the Lord / All the days of my life / Psalm 24 // Sister Magdalen LaRow SSJ

Sister Carol has the great joy this year of celebrating her 50th Jubilee as a Sister of Saint Joseph. The prayer card at the right, a rendering of Psalm 24 by Sister Magdalen LaRow, SSJ, was on the desks of each of the members of Sister Carol's class at Nazareth College to welcome them when they entered the community. Sister Carol has kept the card all these years.

For service is itself an efficacious means of teaching doctrine, and thus these programs should include opportunities for service as part of the educational experience they seek to provide the young. To Teach as Jesus Did,1972, #89
