Sister Jane taught for 33 years in education and served on Leadership. Sister Jane volunteered to go to Peru, South America, in 1964, when the Ursuline Sisters announced the opening of a mission there. Sister Jane taught English to children at the Peruvian Navy School until 1971. In an article in The Record, dated October 18, 1979, Sister commented about her time in Peru: “Sometimes you go to the mission area with the idea of helping others. But when you get down to it, you’re the one who’s being helped by learning to appreciate and experience other cultures and other people’s struggles.”
