In this hallowed ground over 530 sisters are buried dating deaths from 1852 to 1967 when the cemetery was closed to burials. These sisters ministered throughout the local area educating children and caring for orphans, but most importantly, as a fruit of their prayer and adoration before the blessed sacrament, kept the catholic faith alive and flourishing for the generations that followed them.
By the Blood of Christ we are set free.
Eph. 1:7
