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. Bishop Carter appointed all of the Sisters residing at the Pine Lawn Community House to serve as Auxiliary Ministers of the Eucharist at the Holy Cross Church in the Holy Cross Parish.

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.
