[quote name='dominicansoul' post='1895885' date='Jun 19 2009, 04:24 PM']The very first group that had to do student teaching in public schools were met with some resistance. The public school officials did not want the sisters to wear their habits when they did their student teaching. Mother firmly stated, her daughters would not be allowed to wear anything but their habits. She told the school officials, if they did not respect this, she would have to find another school district that would accept them as they are. The officials promptly respected Mother's wishes...

I love Mother. She is no doormat, that's for sure![/quote]

Oh, how I would have liked to be a fly on the wall...

I watched part of the interview with Mother Assumpta on EWTN Live (I DVRed the complete interview). She seems like such a wonderful, caring person who can stand firm for her sisters and things she believes in. The Dominican Sisters of Mary are fortunate to have her as the head of their congregation.
