Sister Joan of Arc Walsh One of nine children, Sister Joan of Arc Walsh, along with her sister, Anne, arrived in Cleveland from her native Limerick, Ireland in 1948. She made her first vows in 1951. Sister Joan taught 6th grade at Incarnate Word Academy as well as other schools throughout the diocese of Cleveland, including St. Thomas More, St. Patrick and Assumption. Although Sister retired in 2006, she is still active today as an Incarnate Word Academy lunch guard. She also serves as sacristan for liturgical celebrations for both the community and Incarnate Word Academy. "Mother Brendan, a past Superior of the Congregation, influenced me through her wisdom and gentleness. The goodness and compassion of my Sisters helps me to be faithful. The Beatitude I would like to be remembered by would be that of compassion." ~ Sister Joan of Arc Walsh
