rented house here. Three of the Sisters work at St. Mary-Corwin hos
pital here. The fourth is a first grade teacher at St Francis Xavier
school. They will continue with their regular occupations and will re
ceive the regular Sister’s salary of $100 to $125 a month. They will
pay rent take care of all household expenses and make car payments
out of these salaries. The Sisters will take part in parish and neighbor
hood projects while living in the house. They will wear religious habits
and will say the prayers ordinarily required of them, but they will not
attempt to follow their normal convent schedules. The purpose is “to
see whether living a life closer to the ordinary working person’s life
brings us closer to an awareness of the needs of people,’’ one of the
Sisters explained.
