Our teaching Sisters belong to a religious community, the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which came into existence almost two hundred years ago. The foundress was a young Irish girl, Nano Nagle, who af- ter finishing her education in France, remained in Paris. But she did not find happiness in the gay social whirl of her daily life. She could not forget her own people, crushed under severe penal laws. She thought especially of the poor children denied even the most rudimentary of educations. Back in Ireland, she risked everything in opening her first school. Soon other schools were opened and in 1775, the first convent of the order was opened. Today the Sisters of the Presentation are established not on- ly in Ireland and England, but also in all parts of the United States, Newfound- land, Australia, and India.
