Summary: A very personal look at a Catholic sister in Belfast.
Comment: Sister Genevieve, a Daughter of Charity sister, wanted to work with the poorest of the poor. When she was sent to teach at a school in Belfast, Northern Ireland, she didn't initially feel that this was what she felt drawn to do. As time went by, she came to realize how depressed an area West Belfast was. Most of the Catholic families in the area had little or nothing. Often, what they did have was negatively influenced by the Troubles of the 1970s and 1908s. Sister Genevieve's personal strength helped her to run St. Louise's Catholic school, and to turn it into a haven for the girls who went to school there. The school was able to offer them a true education that they would not have been able to get anywhere else.
