Some will recognize our sisters and others from back in the early 1960s. As a child and teenager, I recall this kind of picture being on the front page each year when Cardinal Cushing had "Baseball Day" for all the sisters in our archdiocese. I'm sure The Globe has quite a treasure trove of these kinds of pictures.

When you read the article, perhaps you will wonder, as do I, how many pictures they have of the amazing work of sisters that is so well discussed in this article.
