During her nearly six-decade teaching ministry, Sister Peter served in schools in the West and Midwest. She was a devout instructor of math, English, life skills, and the ways of goodness and equality. She welcomed all and knew no strangers, making Sister Peter a successful mentor to all who came to her as a student. In 1976, Sister Peter became involved in programs to help those in need of a special introduction to the art of learning. The first of these was a GED program commissioned by the KCK Archdiocese. Later Sister taught at Donnelly College, Kansas City, Kan., where in 1986 she was named director of the Basic Education for Lifelong Learning (BELL) program, a program she was instrumental in founding. In succeeding years, she volunteered at Duchesne Clinic in Kansas City, Kan.
