Mainstreet Radio's Erin Galbally reports on a fundraiser to help bring living quarters up to date at a Rochester convent, known as Assisi Heights. The Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi have made Rochester their home for more than a hundred years.
The sisters began as a teaching order, sending nuns to staff Catholic schools across southern Minnesota. In 1889 the sister's founded St. Mary's Hospital and trained as nurses.
