About Sr. Monica Fumo:
Born to an Italian immigrant family in Kenosha in 1941, Judith Ann Fumo was welcomed by three brothers old enough to serve in the armed forces during World War II and a sister already in college. Judith Ann entered the community of the Sisters of Charity of St. Joan Antida in 1960 and became Sr. Monica in 1962. She attended Mt. Mary College and Marquette University. Initially a French and Music teacher at SJA, she also served as Vice Principal, Principal, President and Chancellor. During her almost 40 years of service, Sr. Monica has become known to students, alumnae, benefactors and staff members alike as the “heart and face”of St. Joan Antida High School.
