Franciscan Sisters of Early Days
Sixty-three young women from the parish have entered religious orders. They all attended St. Mary’s. The majority joined the Sisters of St. Francis and many of them returned to teach there. Others joined the Dominican Order, the Benedictines, Religious of the Sacred Heart and sisters of Mercy.
