Sr. Madeleine received St. Joseph’s Distinguished Alumni award in 2006.We received some sad news this morning that Sr. Madeleine LeCompte, OSBS, died at the age of 89. Sr. Madeleine was a St. Joseph’s alumnae and long time member of our Board of Directors. She died after a long illness and time in hospice care. Her school days were mostly in the 1930’s, during the Great Depression and Dirty Thirties (Dust Bowl) era. Sr. Madeleine was a nun for over 70 years, and a real inspiration to her fellow Native Americans, whom she spent her life serving. May she rest in God’s peace.
At St. Joseph's Indian School, our privately-funded programs for Lakota (Sioux) children in need have evolved over 90 years of family partnership, experience and education. Because of generous friends who share tax-deductible donations, Native American youth receive a safe, stable home life; individual counseling and guidance; carefully planned curriculum based on Lakota culture and individual student needs and tools to help build confidence, boost self-esteem and improve cultural awareness. All of this helps children to live a bright, productive, possibility-filled future.

A big heart to be a nun for 70 years- I hope the St. Joseph’s Native Community appreciates her input.
