Harlem-based order of Black nuns marks 100 years
The Franciscan Handmaids of the Most Pure Heart of Mary celebrated its centennial gala last Tuesday, March 29. The fabulous Women’s History Month gala also featured His Eminence Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York. The order, which nearly shuttered, now looks forward to its next 100 years of service.
