Listed below is an article that was written previously about Sr. Anne "Nancy" Logan, S.H.C.J.
NANCY LOGAN, SHCJ (M. Joseph Sarto), the youngest of 13 children, Sister Nancy was born into a fun-loving family that found great joy in dancing and being together. Sister Nancy and her family lived in St. Edward Parish in Philadelphia, where she was taught by the Holy Child Sisters. She remained connected with the Sisters during her four years at John W. Hallahan Catholic Girls' High School and entered the Society in 1952. Sister Nancy was an excellent teacher. She taught at St. Elizabeth School in New York for 11 years before moving to Portland, OR, where she spent seven years teaching at St. Rita and St. Charles Schools. In 1973, she returned to Philadelphia and began teaching at St. Edward School. Her quiet but strong leadership skills were recognized, and she was appointed superior at St. Edward Convent and then at Annunciation Convent in Washington, D.C. In 1977, Sister Nancy received training in Group Dynamics at Hahnemann Hospital, where she honed her leadership and team-building skills. She relied on these skills as assistant principal at St. Elizabeth School and when she was named superior of Holy Child Center in 1981. Trained in gerontology, she served aging Province members. Sister Nancy was a full-time student at the University of California, Los Angeles, after which she was assigned to Pastoral Care for the elderly at St. Elizabeth Parish in New York. Her patience and sharp listening skills inspired confidence in the seniors while she, in turn, felt privileged to serve them. A full program blossomed under her leadership when she recruited volunteers for this important outreach. Later, while living in Bryn Mawr and Rosemont, she continued to volunteer her time and talents at Holy Child Center and neighboring nursing homes. Today, Sister Nancy makes her home at Holy Child Center. While her vision has diminished, her compassion and concern for others remains vibrant.
