Sr. Mary Peter is a local who grew up on a dairy farm west of
Hillsboro and went to St. Matthew’s School in Hillsboro. She
graduated from Hillsboro Union High School and entered the convent in
1975. Sister attended junior colleges in the Monterey and San Francisco
areas before receiving her BA in Natural Science from San Jose State
University. She continued for another year to receive her California
State teaching credential. Sr. Mary Peter continues with her education
through the Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio. She is
progressing towards a Masters in Theology. She has also received her
Science Endorsement for teaching science in grades K-12 with the state
of Oregon.
Sister has been teaching the middle school grades at Catholic schools
in California before coming to St. Francis School in 2004. She likes
teaching and enjoys being in a school atmosphere.
In her free time, Sister Mary Peter likes working in the kitchen,
cooking, with breakfast being her favorite meal to prepare. Sister also
enjoys yardwork, gardening, and smelt fishing. Her only problem is a
common one for all of us, there just isn’t enough time for all of
the activities she enjoys doing. However, Sister says she isn’t
too worried about that. If something is important, God will make sure
that she has the time. Sister Mary Peter says, for her, listening to
the Holy Spirit is key.
