"A One-Man Show"

Bro. Carl Tiedt, CSC, a brother in the Congregation of Holy Cross, shares a bit of his life story with us.  Read this fascinating account of how he became both a teacher and an artist . . .                

Farmers Threshing Wheat
Bro. Carl Tiedt, CSC was inspired to become a Brother of Holy Cross by the example of his two aunts:  Sister Jovita Skalitzky and Sister Grace Ann Skalitzky of the Congregation of School Sisters of Notre Dame to “follow Jesus Christ in Poverty, Chastity and Obedience.”  He was born on a farm of forty acres in the township of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.  His most masculine accomplishment before he came to religious life was going threshing with the farmers of his neighborhood and working along side with them.
