Mimi, I graduated from Sacred Heart High School on Canal St. and was taught by School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND). Their mother house is (or was) in St. Louis and MAYBE that is where the records are. A friend and former classmate, Sr. Miriam Kindleis is a Notre Dame nun in San Antonio. Do you have any other info on your Sr. Monica, i.e. date of birth and date of death. Have you found an obituary in the N.O. newspaper? I will write Sr. Miriam and ask if there are records in St. Louis and please forward the address of the Motherhouse which I will forward to you. Merle Ann Duncanville, TX.
