Sister Regina Ann Lynch
...of you will agree that these were rocky years in the Congregation, and many local communities, including St. John, Vincennes, struggled to live together well. Gloria remembers that some directive came from “on high” that each house should meet and that each sister should share a little something about her spirituality.
