Beloved daughter of Seraphim and Eleanora (Schuckardt) Meyer.

Amelia was the product of public schools in Canton, Ohio, where she was graduated from Normal School.

Amelia received the Candidate's bonnet in May 1856, and was received into the Novitiate on August 4, 1857.

For ten years Sister Gregoria taught in Belleville, Illinois, then was missioned to Baltimore. Poor health forced her return to Milwaukee. For 35 years Sister Gregoria served as Novice Directress for the Milwaukee Province.
