A Farewell Prayer documents the last days prior to St. Anthony's Convent, on Prince Street in Soho, NY, closed. At the time, four nuns lived there. Sisters, Kathie, Lois, Gloria, and Rita were a former educator, nurse, accountant, and missionary, respectively, and had lived in the building for many years. Sister Kathie was there for 25 years, Lois for 37, Gloria for 13, and Rita for 40. The Franciscan Sisters of Allegany had been in the convent building since 1955. In 2018, the priest sold the convent and they had to vacate the premises on June 1st. They went to live separately.
