“I am kind of like a bad penny that keeps coming back and forth to RES,” said Sister Stephanie Blaszczynski, C.R., Class of 1955. “That expression probably doesn’t mean anything to people these days, but when I was a kid, you’d find this penny and then all of a sudden you’d find it [again] later, and it would be like returning to something. But, it was always a joyful thing for me to return to RES."
