24 Vocations Spawned From Three Families
(Eichenlaub*Fenzel*Hanzlian*Hoerner*Korn*Meyer*Poorten*Roswach*Schmitt*Setter*Sturm*Van Remmen)
Â
Sister Agnes Marie Setter, OSF, recently observed the 60th anniversary of her entrance into the religious life with a con celebrated Mass of Thanksgiving
at Fourteen Holy Helpers Parish, Gardenville. Chef celebrant was Sister Agnes Marie's nephew, Rev. John G. Strum. S. J. A., dinner followed in the school hall.
Sister Agnes Marie comes from a family rich in religious vocations.
Her great-grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Ullman, came to the U.S. from Germany in 1845.
Although her great-grandmother was a staunch Protestant, her great-grandfather raised his three daughters Catholics.
Each one of those daughters (one was Sister Agnes' grandmother) raised a family, and their children, in turn, began families of their own.
Within the two generations, there are 24 priests, religious and Brothers.
In addition to Sister Agnes Marie, living relatives who are religious include;
Sister Noreen Strum, O.S.F.;
Sister Aquinas Schmitt, O.S.F.;
Sister Margaret Hanzlian, O.S.F.;
Sister Frances Teresa, R.S.M.;
Sister Alberta Van Remmen, R.S.M..;
and Sister Eileen Poorten, G.N.S.H.
Numbered in the family are six priests and three brothers:
Rev. John G. Strum, S. J.;
Rev. William Poorten, S. J.;
Rev. John Meyer, O. M. I.;
Rev. Gregory Eichenlaub, O. S. B.;
Rev. Allen Meyer, O. S. B.;
