Born in New Mexico, the McIntyre family moved to El Paso where Rose Anthony
attended St. Patrick School and Loretto Academy in El Paso. In August 1937, Rose Anthony, like her sisters Agnes and Angeline before her, entered the Sisters of Loretto. In 1940 Rose Anthony began her 33-year teaching career in New Mexico. In El Paso Texas, she taught in St. Mary's and Loretto Academy. Rose Anthony was a great storyteller often regaling friends with stories about New Mexico and often, with a twinkle in her eye, telling stories about her family and all of her adventures in teaching. To have her as a dinner guest meant a delightful evening filled with laughter and happiness.

St. Joseph Academy was located in downtown El Paso. Sisters of Loretto arrived in El Paso from San Elizario in the late 1800. This is the first class. St. Joseph's Academy was on El Paso Street. Building was torn down for the freeway in circa 1955.
In the early 1920's Architect Henry C. Trost from Trost & Trost was chosen by Mother Praxedes to draw plans for Loretto Academy which opened in 1923 but was not finished until the 1930's.
