Who We Are

Sister Anita (Francesca) Schulte

Sister Anita (Francesca) Schulte, SC, entered the Congregation on September 8, 1958, from Our Lady of Refuge Parish (Brooklyn, NY). Recognized by Who’s Who Among American Teachers, she began her ministry teaching in the dioceses of Greensburg and Pittsburgh for 11 years. In 1970, she opened the Elizabeth Seton Montessori School (Greensburg, PA) and continues to serve as its Administrator.
“When I entered the Community 50 years ago, my life’s ambition was to be a sister and serve in the ministry of education,” she says. “Little did I know how fulfilling my life would be. Being given the opportunities and advantages of preparing myself for such a service—my life as an educator, a partner with parents, an instrument of God’s benevolence—leaves me humbly grateful.”
Her other activities include serving on the Pastoral Council of Our Lady of Grace Parish (1998-present); the United Way Advisory Board’s School Readiness Initiative (1999-present); the Seton Hill University Alumni Corporation Board (2001-present); and Conference Leadership (2007-present). She also is involved with Montessori Teacher Training (Silver Spring, MD). She served two terms as a member of the Seton Hill University Board of Trustees (1972-1980 and 1992-1998).
