The Sister Grace Schauf Legacy Society was created in 2019 to honor Sister Grace Schauf. She is the last of many dedicated Sisters to be employed at St. Coletta of Wisconsin. Since 1955, she has been a leader, an educator and a pioneer in the field of special education. Sister Grace has dedicated her time and talents to the individuals who live, work and attend programs at St. Coletta. Her dedication started in Jefferson from 1955 to 1964 where she was in the Villa Rieti Group Home and the bakery. “From there, her calling sent her to St. Coletta’s of Illinois and then on to the Kennedy
School.” In 1999, she returned to St. Coletta were she was employed at Coletta James Group Home in Madison. Currently Sister Grace is employed at the main campus in Jefferson where she continues to be on St. Coletta’s switchboard and an administrative assistant for Human Resources. Her tireless devotion to people and her belief in individual achievement inspire all of us to assist the individuals at St. Coletta explore new options and plan their future.
