    Maybe it was an early multicultural pageant, and she was La Befana? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Befana

    pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) Ooooh! Should have remembered! Spent Christmas in Rome a couple of years ago, and was astounded at all the witches on sale on street stalls alongside cribs, etc.

    Photo taken around 13 June 1915. (From the catalogue record: "Creation date based on date photographic order was placed; recorded in Index Book of the A. H. Poole Studio as: 13 June 1915.") Wonder if the Reverend Mother is in this photo taken same location, same day...

    "These Children of Mary Sodalities first embraced the pupils and orphans of the schools and institutions of the Sisters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul.....The badge adopted by the Children of Mary Immaculate is the miraculous medal, suspended from a blue ribbon. The Children of Mary organization flourished in the mid 20th century. Young women went through a period of aspirancy of six months prior to acceptance as a fully fledged child of Mary, who had the right to wear the distinctive blue cape and carry the blue cape of a Child of Mary. When a Child of Mary married, she was embraced on arrival on the Church steps by other Children of Mary who removed the blue cape from over her wedding gown." From Wikipedia.

    In the 1911 Census there were 5 nuns, with Sr. Mary O'Donnell as "Supervisor".
  • Carol Maddock said:
    Sharon Corbet I was on the same hunt, Sharon. The Presentation reverend mother was a lot less egalitarian. While our Holy Faith Mary O'Donnell describes herself as Supervisor and her sisters as Sisters in Religion. Winifred Molloy of the Presentation nuns is "Head of Family" which is fair enough, I suppose, but all of her sisters are described as "Boarders"!
