Sister Nivard was a marvelous teacher at the Institute of Notre Dame, Baltimore, Maryland. Her faith, energy and dedication were an inspiration to all her students. No one was ever absent nor tardy on the days of her classes! God bless her.

My years at BC under the leadership of Sr Clare Fitzgerald and for many years after in her company were some of my best years in my memory. She was a powerful leader and visionary for Catholic School leaders. I will never forget her talks and how I and all the listeners were captivated by her message ... always with strength, clarity, and wit ... and often with no notes.
It was Sr. Clare who brought a wonderful community of Catholic School leaders together and lasting friendships were made through her efforts at BC's CSLP. I will miss the fact that she is gone from us but she will never be gone in our hearts.
To paraphrase and old Indian proverb: When Sr Clare died, a library burned!
Rev. Dennis J. Audet, Class of '89

In 1986, I enrolled in the Catholic School Leadership Program at Boston College. Of course, the heart of that program was Sr. Clare Fitzgerald. At the end of each summer session she would gather all of the students in the program and give us a special "pep" talk on Catholic Education and the importance of Catholic schools in the future. She was a true role model for me as a Catholic High School educator. May she rest in peace knowing how much of an impact she had on Catholic educators.

Sister Nivard inspired me to appreciate History and pursue it as a major in college. She was a wonderful woman of religion who cared for her students. May Peace be hers…

Sr Nivard was an awesome teacher full of knowledge
I remember when President Kennedy was shot she was so frantic and scared as we all were in the Class of 1966
At St Joes. May she Rest In Peace

Sr. Nivard was a wonderful history teacher. We were in her class the day JFK was shot. We all just stopped and prayed. God bless her.

Sister Claire Fitzgerald was truly a gifted teacher. When she taught world History at St. Joseph's High School in Trumbull, she has our entire attention. She was a delightful spirit and I feel blessed to have had her as a teacher for two years.

Claire Fitzgerald, whom I knew as Sr. Nivard at St. Joseph HS in Trumbull, CT, was a spitfire! She was an excellent teacher who also had a great sense of humor. The girls in the class of '66 were so lucky to have had this extremely intelligent woman as a teacher & friend.
