"Our souls are now nourished. Now it's time to get our bodies nourished," Iadarola said. And with that, everyone proceeded to the atrium for brunch.

People from all walks of life attended the brunch, all of whom Sister Ursula managed to touch, care for, and listen to in some JWay.

' "I just get filled up with emotioµ just thinking about her," Mrs. Milton G. Baker, founder of Valley Forge Military Academy, said.

A toast was made by board of trustees chairperson, Robert D' Anjolell.

"Sister Ursula was born in the 19th century, lived through the 20th century, and will meet the 21st century," D' Anjolell said in a toast to Sister Ursula.

Margaret Corcoran, special events community liaison and chairperson of the 40th anniversary celebration, was filled with excitement about the event in general.

"I am thrilled with the celebra- tion. It is a wonderful way of kicking off the 40th year celebration," Corcoran said. "It is an outpouring of love kissed with snow."

Iadarola could not say enough when asked how she felt about her dear friend's birthday.

"I am grateful for her being with us for so long. She formed foundations and values when she was president. She is a mentor and confidant," Iadarola said. "I enjoy spending time with her as my friend."

The women of Sister Ursula's very first class at Cabrini also attended the festivities, and got a chance to see Sister Ursula, founding president, once again.·

"Sister Ursula expected so much of us," Cabrini Buggiano Lepis said. "We couldn't settle for jobs she said, only for careers and professions.

"She would say how women are as intelligent as men and to go out there and achieve it," Lepis said.

Lepis was part of Sister Ursula's last class at Cabrini High School and first class at Cabrini

College in 1957.

Sister Ursula taught chemistry to Lepis, and she says that is the only reason she passed.

"I have the fondest, warmest memories of her," Marcelle Caccioppoli, class of '52, said.

Sister Pietrina, provinced of Stella Maris Province and Cabrini graduate of '72, said Sister Ursula always begs to go to the Philippines to do missionary work.

"Sister Ursula is a missionary at heart and never stopped being a missionary after 82 years," Pietrina said.

Sister Mary Louise Sullivan,

MSC, and former president of Cabrini in 1972-1982, was taught by Sister Ursula in elementary school, and in high school was taught science by her.

"She is a caring and loving person. I am reciprocating this by helping her out now," Sullivan said.

Sister Mary of Lourdes, IHM, trustee, said, "Her memory is remarkable. She still knows what it's all about and it is marvelous."

Martha Dale, director of alumni affairs, presented Sister Ursula with a check for $100,000 which will go toward the Sister Ursula Infante Learning Center.

Dale had originally hoped for 100 alumni to donate $1,000 each to equal $100,000. One hundred people were not even needed. It took 44.

Sister Ursula bid her thanks and farewells to all of her friends who attended, before a video of all her endless work was shown. The video was created by alumna Adrienne O'Brien.

"How can I thank you adequately for this splendid celebration?," Sister Ursula said.

"I appreciate your presence and I thank you. It has not been a chore but a pleasure to teach and guide you," Sister Ursula said.
