Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth

2025 JUBILARIAN

Sister Celeste Hupert, CSFN
75th Jubilee

Sister Celeste Hupert’s call to religious life stemmed from her mother’s prayers and continued to grow through the spiritual nudge she received from the Nazareth Sisters who taught her at St. Hyacinth Grade School and Mount Nazareth Academy.

Sister Celeste received her bachelor’s degree at Duquesne University and her master’s degree at Mercy College. She worked as a pastoral assistant at St. John the Baptist Byzantine Catholic Parish in Pittsburgh and at Our Lady of Miraculous Medal in Meadowlands, Pa. She also taught at Holy Family School in Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville neighborhood, and at St. Barbara School in Dearborn, Mich.

Though Sister observed other communities, she was influenced by the Nazareth Sisters for the kindness and joy they seemed to always exude.

Sister Celeste enjoys composing poetry in her free time, playing the organ, reading, and volunteering where she is called. Growing up in a family of eight children who constantly served the Sisters in and out of the classroom, Sister Celeste learned the value of listening to others and serving where she is needed.
