thanks for the info. ..wow replacing Sister Alix is an amazing holy woman, but she is getting quite up-there in age..., interesting.
als0 a small note of correction, the oping picture of Nuns with grey veils are not the Contemplative Sisters of St. John, but the Apostolic (active) Sisters of St John. :)
