Main NewsActive Jubilarian Recounts Vocation Journey: Sister Rosemary Endres, CSJby Angela Cave, staff reporter, The Evangelist, April 12, 2012
![]() A graduate of Catholic schools in Syracuse, Sister Rosemary worked in office settings that included a record distribution department at RCA Victor. "You heard all the records first," she remembered. "I was there when they went from 78 to 45 [RPM]." Two of her high school classmates had entered the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet in Albany and encouraged her to do so, too - but she kept talking herself out of it. "I was rather restless, but I convinced myself that I could never leave home," Sister Rosemary said. "One day, it just hit me that I should enter. I guess the classmates' prayers were stronger than my pushing it aside." Sister Rosemary quit her final job doing payroll for a store and entered the religious congregation just before her 24th birthday. Today, at 84, she's celebrating her 60th anniversary as a sister. Her teaching career took her as far away as Hawaii; she spent four decades in social service ministry in Schenectady. She's still running a food pantry for the city's needy and homebound that she and another sister opened in 1985. Click HERE to read the entire article in The Evangelist!
