Pat Callaghan

Class of 1959

After Donnelly, Pat Callaghan earned her bachelor’s degree from St. Mary’s College in Leavenworth and later received her master’s degree from Baker University. She taught at St. Patrick and the Cathedral’s grade schools in the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas. She taught at Donnelly from 1984 to 1990, and returned in 2001 as an academic advisor until her retirement in 2008.

“When I first attended Donnelly, the Benedictine Sisters welcomed me, accepted me unconditionally and helped me see myself through their eyes. It affirmed my self-worth and made a lifetime impression.”

Pat Callaghan was inducted in 2012.
