Sister Robert Anne, can you tell us how you came to be with the Little Sisters of Riverdale?

It is always unfortunate when a sister comes down with an illness! Thankfully Sister Leo did not come down with a case of death like the other 52 sisters at the Little Sisters of Riverdale after the incident!
