A Conversation with Sister Janet

Sister Janet Bucher was born in Covington in 1940.

After more than 60 years as a Catholic nun, teacher,

and parish administrator, Sister Janet retired in 2025.

Her career began as a teenager when she entered St.

Anne Convent in Melbourne. From there, she held

posts throughout the United States before returning

home to Covington where she spent the final 34 years

of her career as the parish administrator for Our Saviour

Catholic Church.

Sister Janet wasn’t just a witness to history, she helped

to make it. This three-part program features journalist

and historian Dr. David Rotenstein interviewing Sister

Janet about her life, an illustrated slide show, and a

community conversation that will enable attendees to

ask Sister Janet their own questions.
