Sebastian) also entered the CSC order in Notre Dame. Agnes and Margaret were cousins to CSC Edith "Sr. M. Cecilia" Lilly (1848-1885).

Agnes became known as Sr. M. Cointha and served as a Music Teacher during her 68 year career as a CSC sister. She taught at 16 schools across the country, and was assigned to St. Peter and Paul School in her hometown of Chatsworth, IL from 1925-1927.
