Hudson's energy and industry have secured 16,000 subscribers to the Ave Maria . She is an Irish Dominicaness whose convent was founded during penal times in Ireland in 1639 for Irish Ladies by a Portuguese countess. The house flourished until the taking of Lisbon by Junot when it was pillaged. About 22 years ago Cardinal Cullen sent out some nuns from his diocese. They opened a noviciate here which she joined in 1865. Their noviciate is now in Galway; there is no leave here for profession. Father Thomas J. Towers, O.P., the present provincial, comes over for the annual canonical visitation. Father Keane who was a parish priest of St. Michael and John's is going to join their order. She was much interested in hearing that the Sisters of the Holy Cross print the Ave. Miss Dalton who wrote the Mortuary is an English governess in Portugal. Dalton will leave all details of publishing to Hudson. :: X-2-m A.L.S. 18pp. 12mo.
