Mary Ann Cunningham, a member of the Sisters of Loretto, taught me Latin at Loretto Academy in El Paso, TX circa 1963.

These two Sisters of Loretto greatly influenced Sr. Buffy Boesen who later became president of Loretto Academy in El Paso, Tx where Sr. Buffy took her final vows.

Each of these women wrote a chapter in "A Century of Change, 1912-2012, Loretto's Second Century published by Chardon Press, Copyright 2012, Library of Congress Number 2012930171. Cunningham is in white sweater and wrote chapter on Loretto's women's Network: Are We There Yet? Coyle's chapter focuses Pakistan Mission.

Christmas gathering of Mary Ann Coyle, former president of Sisters of Loretto, Mary Ann Cunningham, former Latin teacher at Loretto Academy in El Paso, TX. March is Women's History Month annually in the USA. These nuns served as role models for hundreds of students.
