GREEN BAY, Wis. — A Catholic nun is the latest inductee to the Packers Fan Hall of Fame.
Sister Isaac Jogues Rousseau teaches at Mount Mary College in Milwaukee. She was named Friday as the sixth person to be inducted into the Green Bay Packers Fan Hall of Fame.
Rousseau is a member of the School Sisters of Notre Dame and was nominated by a friend.
Sylvia Linton describes Rousseau as someone who’s “soft-spoken, but can on occasion be persuaded to sing with gusto ‘Go You Packers, Go and get ’em!'”
Rousseau has been a Packer backer since birth. She was born in Green Bay in 1921 — the same year the city obtained a franchise in the new National Pro Football League. Her dad took her to games.

A Green Bay Packers Rosary, I wonder how it is prayed? Throw a Hail Mary, Full of grace. Meditate on the Immaculate Reception..

Jeff, no jokes necessary — EVERYONE (ok, maybe just us die-hard packer fans) knows that God is a Packer Fan and Saint (well, I do hope he’s in heaven) Vince Lambardi looks down on us and intercedes for packer fans. The Bears horrible seasons are proof of his intercession.
Are the beads in the shape of footballs? Seems like the green ones are, can’t tell for the white ones.
“Saint (well, I do hope he’s in heaven) George Halas looks down on us and intercedes for Bear fans”, that we may be someday delivered from this Cheesehead curse plaguing the Great Lakes area, and that green and gold nightmares may soon be a thing of the past (especially once King Cheesehead Favre decides to retire!).
God so loved the Packers, he allowed his initial to be on their helmets. Go Pack.
