I came across this photo in an old book from 1996. The Sisters were all resident at St Patrick's Convent at that time. I recognize just one of the Sisters. The Sister standing at the front, far right, is Sr Agnes Sesk, formerly known as Sr M Olivette.

Sr Agnes was a renowned music teacher, guiding many Kiwanis Music Festival winners. In May 2002, the Kiwanis Hall of Honour came into being. There were three categories of membership. Sr Agnes Sesk was one of the first inductees into the Kiwanis Hall of Honour. That year, Sr Agnes Sesk PBVM, Andreas Barban, and Sr Katherine Bellamy RSM, were celebrated in the music category.
Sr Agnes passed away on 18 March 2008 at the age of 89 years. She was laid to rest in the Presentation Cemetery at the Motherhouse.
I have just heard from Heather that the Sister at the far left of the picture is Sr Charles. Not sure of her surname but it is possibly Sr Charles Murphy, who passed away on 18 August 2006. Thank you, Heather. Every bit of information is helpful.
I would be very grateful if anyone can enlighten us as to the identity of any of the other Sisters here. You can contact me at mcallistersmith@gmail.com.
