The Archives of the Province of St. Louise will be displaying some of the artistic treasures of its collections, beginning next week! The Daughters of Charity are famous for their work in healthcare and education, yet the sisters of the community also harbor some artistic talent as well. Our new art gallery is open to Daughters and Associates during business hours and to the public on Wednesday afternoons and by special booking.
