Sister Zita Welsh
Sister Zita was born in Houtzdale, Pennsylvania July 26, 1873, and entered the sisters of St. Joseph, where she took her final vows March 18, 1893.
Sister Zita was the founding superior at the Blessed Sacrement <sic> School, when it opened. She was a religious <sic> for sixty years and was often sent to solicit money for the orphans.
Her death was very tragic. She was killed on her way to visit her sister Mary, who was very ill. At Maryvale, where she had been Superior, a shrine was erected in her memory by some of her students.
