Sister John Agnes grew up in Huntsville, Alabama. Prior to entering the convent, she studied Biochemistry at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. Sister made her final profession of vows in 2008 and has served in various schools in Tennessee, Ohio, and Illinois. Most recently she has been teaching Science and Religion at St. Mary's Catholic School in South Carolina. Sister is very excited for the opportunity to serve in her home diocese where the first seeds of the faith and her spiritual formation were planted.
