More Description"Frequently the idea comes to me of a monastery of Dominican Sisters who would be specially consecrated to the Perpetual Rosary. I consulted Rome and last month I received a favorable answer. . . . This is the history of that foundation. . . . This work is going to change my life-my life that does not belong to me.
