The addition includes a
chapel, seven bed dormi-
tory and a guest apart-

Here on a visit and tour
and to be present for the
dedication is the Rev. Mo-
ther Immaculata of Vien-
na, Austria, superior ge-
neral of the School Sis-
ters of the Third Order of
St. Francis, the Catholic
order which operates the
convent here.
Mother Immaculata,
who arrived in Panhandle
July 12, expressed sat-
isfaction with the pro-
gress in the Amarillo
Diocese, It is her third
visit to the diocese since
the School Sisters came ,
in 1954.
Relaying the comments I
of Mother Immaculata,
who does not speak En-
glish, Mother Feliciana,
who is head of the Ameri-
can center at Panhandle,
stated she admires the
progress made in the dio-
cese, the new parishes,
new schools, and new
buildings showing there
is work going on. She ex-
pressed satisfaction with
the cooperation of the
priests of the diocese,
with the sister.
As superior general of

School Sisters, Mother
Immaculata directs more
than 200 sisters in their
work in Austria, Argen-
tina and the United States.

Sisters can work for ne-
glected children and the

lina, who is a cook at
the children’s home, and
Sister Joslita, who tea-
ches in Dumas.
They fixed up a house,
given to them by Mrs.
Rose Gordon, which was
sold and used as the first
home for children, known
as the Bernard Gordon
Home in memory of the
son of Mrs. Gordon, and
also as a quarters for the
sisters. In June 1954 they
were joined by eight other
sisters from Youngstown.
In the fall of that yar,
work was started on a
new convent, consisting
of a chapel, sacristy, li-
brary, kitchen, dining
room, parlors and dormi-
tory. It was built at a
cost of $50,000.
In the spring of 1958,
work began on the first
addition housing a novi-
tate’s study, dormi-
tory and parlors. The
$30,000 addition was
blessed by Bishop HohnL.
