Title: Passionist nuns open new convent.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PASSIONIST NUNS OPEN NEW CONVENT #C-4815 SCRANTON, Pa. -- Here is an unusual photograph of five sisters of the Passionist Order, taken as they leave their convent here to journey to Owensboro, Ky., where they will open a new one -- the order’s third in the United States. Because they voluntarily seclude themselves from worldly affairs and take vows of enclosure which confine them to the convent except in case of severe illness or as in this instance, to further the work of the order, Passionist nuns are rarely photographed. They speak to each other only during meals, occupy their time with work, spiritual readings and prayer. Mother Mary Agnes (center), a member of the order for 33 years, is Mother Superior of the new Owensboro group. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (JG-OLYPH-PA-BS-11C-6-C)
