Women’s History Month: Mother Theodore and Vincennes

Mother Theodore Guerin and her sister-companions stayed with the Sisters of Charity while in Vincennes, Ind. She writes about Vincennes:

“At Vincennes, especially, one might think she was in Noah’s ark. The confused noise is deafening. The two pianos that the Sisters [of Charity] have for twelve pupils, and which are going from the beginning of the day to tend, add to the confusion. … Well, such is the village of Vincennes.”
