About the author

Elsa Thompson Hofmeister has a long association with the Visitation Sisters, as both an alumna (Class of 1956) and a retired administrator of their school. A career educator, she holds degrees from three universities in English, counseling and administration.

This book is an expression of her profound appreciation for the spiritual insight the sisters imparted to her as a student, colleague and, especially, through the interviews contained in this book.

Elsa lives in Burnsville, Minn., with her husband, Don, who shares her love and admiration for the Visitation Sisters. This is her first book.
