Frank, Susan (1958) 
 

Susan Frank, eldest daughter of Dr. and Mrs. H. A. Frank of Neillsville, received the habit of the School Sisters of Notre Dame and the name Sister Mary Ellen Francis, in solemn investiture ceremonies at the Milwaukee motherhouse of the order, July 1 and 2. 
 

Sister, a graduate of St. Mary’s grade school, Neillsville, and St. Mary’s academy, Prairie du Chien, entered the candidature of the order last September.  
 

Now, she will be among the 51 novices who will spend a year learning the rudiments of the religious life and preparing to take their first temporary vows of obedience, chastity, and poverty.  The novitiate is intended as a time of preparation and probation. 
 

These novices make up the last group to be received in the 108-year old motherhouse at 1324 N. Milwaukee Street, Milwaukee, and the first to occupy the new Notre Dame of the Lake Training College for Sisters in Mequon.  The novitiate will be moved to its new quarters in August. 
 

The western province of the School Sisters of Notre Dame conducts schools in Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Guam, in which about 26,750 children and young adults are under instruction. The administrative head quarters of the province also will be located at Mequon.
