Sr Patricius QuineFormer St Joseph’s College principal widely mournedAn “exceptional teacher and principal” is being fondly remembered this week for her kindness, gentle encouragement and as an “amazing role model” to former students and staff who continue to be inspired by her. That's just a flavour of the tributes being paid to Sister Patricius Quine, the former principal of St Joseph's College, Summerhill, who died on January 14 last. Sr Patricius moved from St Peter's Athlone in 1972 to become principal of St Joseph's College, and it was here she stayed until 1988. The legacy left by St Patricius can never be erased from the minds of so many students who attended Summerhill. After reposing in the Strand Funeral Home, her remains were removed to Ss Peters and Paul's Church, Athlone for funeral Mass.
