- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: ...even in the seclusion of a nunnery at Godalming, Surrey. Here we have an insight in to the cloistered lives of the Franciscan Missionaries of the Divine Motherhood who are pledged to serve the sick, poor and destitute. So far from living a life of silent contemplation these Sisters tackle a whole series of man-sized jobs. We see them farming, mixing concrete and building barns, fishing, swimming and living a life of Christianity that is almost to a masculine degree.
