the order of the Sisters of Charity (MERE SEBERE) Explanation: I think there's an order called the Sisters of Charity but I don't know what MERE SEBERE means! I would put it in brackets after it. It might be the name of the first head of the community in that house. |

quelques explications Explanation: It is very strange because in France we either called the nuns 'soeur or mère. ou alors on dit mère Theresa, soeur de la charité. Ici je dirais Mother SEBERE sister of charity or something like that They seem to be using soeurs in the meaning of nuns. Good luck! Ségolène |
