As the United States was celebrating its bicentennial in July of 1976, Rosie flew out of a besieged Entebbe airport in Uganda home to Manhattan, where she spent the next three years teaching in a diocesan school in "Hell's Kitchen" on Manhattan's West Side, while living in an RSCJ community in East Harlem. With permission from the provincial and superior general, in the late summer of 1979, Rosie once again set off for East Africa and became a member of that province of the Society for the next ten years. Returning to the United States in 1989, Rosie attended the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley, CA, obtaining a Master's degree in theology before beginning her third career: social work. In 2009 she received her ten-year citation from Catholic Charities in San Jose, CA. (To read more about Rosie's life, click on the link under her picture.)
