Kansas City Irish Nun Celebrates 50 Year Jubilee
Sister Rita Smith is one of 3 Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth (SCL), Kansas who recently celebrated their 50th anniversaries.
The daughter of two Irish parents, Smith said many of her childhood activities in Kansas City, MO, revolved around the church.
After coming in contact with several SCL in high school, she said she felt drawn to religious life.
“I knew all along that I really wanted to be a sister,” she said.
Tim Linn in The Leavenworth Times has the story.
No jokes from me, but there might be in the stories below.
