This subseries documents the various roles and activities of Sister Nancy Wales, Sister Dorothy Ann Howley, Sister Joanna Roks, and Sister Francis Walton at Pine Lawn Avenue.

In addition, this subseries contains correspondence from the Sisters outlining the reasons for a request to move to a different community house addressed to Sister Mary Brendan (Cathleen) Flynn, Superior General. In addition, there are photographs of Sister Loretta Manzara, Sister Nancy Wales, Sister Angela Shannon, Sister Dorothy Ann Howley, Sister Joanna Roks, and Sister Francis Walton at the Pine Lawn Community House during an open house event and at Christmas in 1977.
