Excerpt from the February 2011 Seek Christ Article featuring Joyce Sauer:

Favorite Scripture
:  “For those that God has given much, much is expected” Luke 12:48   Favorite Prayer: Prayer of St Francis; the words being a guiding force in how I was raised and how we raised our children.  
Favorite Church Song: “Gentle Woman”, a song I have always loved.  It reminds me of my mother and is also how I wish to live my life.  Lyrics are wonderful, “Gentle Woman, so strong and bright.  Teach us wisdom, teach us love….”  
Would Love to Meet: President Obama, a man of significant historical meaning as the first black president.  
How I Use My Talents: In the best way I can and take the long view that God’s kingdom is beyond our efforts and beyond our view.  We can only accomplish a small fraction of what is God’s purpose and intention for His creation.  
Family and Education: Having 5 children and now 13 grand-kids; family takes up much of my free time these days. In the past I have been involved in all of our children’s schools, having served three times as PTA President: grade school, middle school and high school, as well as Lay Principal of Religious Education for three years at St. Jude Parish.  Prior to  teaching at St Dominic, I graduated “several years ago” from St. Benedict College in Minnesota and then continued taking classes in computers, accounting and other business type courses.  
What to Leave Behind: I hope to leave my family and the many children with whom I have worked, with a sense of caring and of being of service to others.  
Where God is Found: God is found at St. Dominic in the image of the beautiful children and the dedicated and terrific staff who teaches and nurtures their well being and gives joy to all of us.  
Technology at St. Dominic School: Prepares every student to be technologically literate in ways that will assist them in high school and in the years beyond, whether in college, technical school or in future employment. The goal of the staff and of me is to instill a respect and a purposeful use of the technology that they are part of.  
Person I Admire the Most: My husband; his passion and dedication to serving others, through various organizations of the Catholic Church, has been part of our lives since we married in 1961. That has been a guiding force in our family and has continued to add a very special dimension and meaning to my life.

Both Mrs. Sauer and her husband Dave have been involved extensively in the Church and Catholic healthcare, both domestically and internationally. Mrs. Sauer states that her life and their children and grandchildren’s lives have been greatly affected by this involvement. Mrs. Sauer claims that much of her husband’s continued work in developing world countries has inspired her to stay engaged and work with the students at St. Dominic. Mrs. Sauer hopes that St. Dominic students will learn to embrace all people in peace, regardless of color, religion or political persuasion utilizing all the skills learned at St. Dominic School.  She maintains she receives much more from St. Dominic School than she gives and is grateful for the wonderful staff, supportive Home & School Association, and the beautiful children with whom she works.
