I had no idea that a formerly married mother of nine children could become a Mother Superior. I learn something new every day. This is a really good article."Visitation nun Sister Mary Jane Frances Williams was officially named the mother superior at the Monastery of the Visitation, Snellville, May 9. Mother is a title quite familiar to Sister Jane Frances. Prior to entering the cloistered monastery, she was married for nearly 42 years before her husband died, gave birth to nine children, and she has 29 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren."(Photo by Michael Alexander) LINK

ReplyDeleteThe order was started by a widow with 4 children.
