Julie I wrote to and had my reply from Sr Bridget Anne Isp Religious Superior Little Sisters of the Proor PO Box 117 Northcote Vic 3070 Phone 03 9489 8444 Fax 03 9489 1302 As I was asking about a nun and got the reply from the Religious Supewrior, you may be better off just writing to the Order at that asddress, and see who they direct it to. Good luck.

Julie, I live a few blocks from the convent you mention. I could take a digital photo of it if you wish and email it to you. It is a very, very large building and it would be difficult to get a full view in just one picture. The Little Sisters of the Poor still run an old peoples' home in the grounds, within a much smaller modern building. The remainder of the old convent buildings are now owned and run by the Greek Orthodox Church. The sisters who live on site are now very elderly and might not be up to searching out the records and replying. I make an annual donation to their work, and can vouch that sometimes they even have trouble with managing receipt writing!
