Holleran, Maureen, 1903-1994

This series contains a couple photographs of Sr. Constance Matern, OSB, and Sr. Anthony Hrusovsky, OSB, a priest, and their vacation school group outside St. Mary Church in Eagle, Colorado. Also included are some pictures taken during a 1989 archive trip Sr. Vivian Ivantic, OSB, and Sr. Eleanore Hillenbrand, OSB, took to Colorado. The list of Sisters who taught at the summer schools of religion in Eagle may be incomplete, as the second page of the list is missing.

Despite the Benedictine Sisters of Chicago's 40-year presence in Florence, Colorado, this sub-series is relatively slim. Beyond a two-page list of Sisters who taught vacation schools in the town, the only other material included are two images of a statue of St. Benedict taken outside St. Benedict Church during a 1991 archive trip to Colorado.

This sub-series contains many photos and several news clippings relating to vacation schools the Benedictine Sisters of Chicago taught in Minturn, Colorado, from the late 1930s to late 1970s. Most material was produced during the 1950s.

The only paper in this sub-series lists the Sisters who taught in Oak Creek, Colorado, along with the summers they were stationed there throughout the 1970s and early 1980s. Some background on what brought the Benedictine Sisters of Chicago to the town, along with some anecdotes from the community's time there are also included.

This sub-series contains a list of Sisters who taught vacation schools in Olathe, Colorado, and an image of a Sister standing alongside eight pupils. The back of the print lists the year as 1944, although there is no evidence the Benedictine Sisters of Chicago were present in the town until two decades later. There is a good chance this photograph was taken later than listed or was captured in a separate town.

This series is mostly comprised of photographs of Red Cliff, Colorado, and the vacation schools Sisters taught there. Also included are some images from a 1989 archives trip to Colorado and a list of Sisters who worked in the town from 1952 to 1977.

Besides a list of Sisters who taught vacation schools in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, this sub-series includes a euology to Holy Name Church's Fr. Frank Ciaptacz, who died in 1982, an obituary for one of his predecessors, Fr. Joseph Leberer, who died four years later in 1986, and a couple photos from the area.
