Adopt a nun

So I’m reading the weekly religious page of our local paper to see if I’ve accidentally been saved when I wasn’t looking and lo and behold there is an article about a group of nuns who have started an “Adopt a Sister” program to help pay for the care of the elderly nuns in their order.  I read a little further and lo and behold it is the nuns who taught me in grade school – the Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco (you had to be able to spell all of that before you moved from kindergarten to first grade) in New Jersey.  And I found myself remembering the many “adopt-a-pagan-baby” drives we used to do back then and wondered if this was cosmic payback.
