In 2000 the Sisters were approached by long-time friend and CEO of St. Mary's Hospital for Children, Burt Grebin, about preserving the Community's history in a video documentary. He introduced us to Suzy Shechtman, a videographer who specialized in helping families who had survived the Holocaust to consolidate family memories from surviving photographs and recorded oral history. If she could do this for families, could she not also do this for a community of nuns? She agreed and we agreed, and the result was "The Hidden Life", a documentary-style video history of our community up to 2003. Little did we know in 2000 that God would call us from our home of over 100 years to new foundations both in upstate New York and Malawi, Africa.
