According to a profile written in Loyola’s student paper, she was a coach for basketball, volleyball and yo-yo teams in elementary schools in Chicago, Los Angeles and North Hollywood: “In what Sister Jean calls the ‘olden days’, nuns weren’t allowed to go out after dark. When they had night games, Sister Jean’s teams would call the convent at halftime, tell her the score and ask her to pray for them. She belongs to the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Cubs lost the game to the Brewers, with the final score 6-2. She released an inspiring book on her life this year, see at this link: https://amzn.to/45vp4EzSister Jean threw out the first pitch at Wrigley Field on Monday night.
