  • Great video. Thank you for giving voice to the lives and mission of Catholic sisters and nuns.

  • don't ask where they are today. their history is gone with them in less 50 years. while the nostalgia is romantic the reality is very sad.

  • God bless those nuns and all the nuns and priests who ive of themselves so that others may thrive

  • As a former tour guide at the Convent, this segment brought back many memories.  :-)

  • Very beautiful

  • Beautiful video. I saw the convent when I visited New Orleans. Thanks for posting.
