Father Joseph Fessler,

Mother Gabriel Gramlich,Franciscan-Sister-Martin-Flavin

Mother Generose Cahill…

 

A bright Spring day –

A trail that circles Silver Lake –

The vision begins.

 

The plans are made –

A plot is measured

And soil is turned.

 

A home – a convent built –Beginnings-of-Silver-Lake-College-of-the-Holy-Family

Doors open, welcome-wide

Youth eager to learn.

 

The young teacher Teresa’ vision

Taking shape –

The young educator Mary Gertrude

Shapes further dream.

Soon young women fill the college halls…

 

Our heritage – Holy Family College

 

Our legacy to keep the vision,

The dream become reality:

Silver Lake College of the Holy Family.Silver-Lake-College-of-the-Holy-Family

 

Ours it is to re-invigorate this our heritage-

Ours to be the collaborators of Mothers

Gabriel and Generose,

To bestow on this – our own college, a vital, vibrant future,

Pledging our prayers, our support,

 

To work begun, to tasks ahead.
