13 Nuns Die As COVID-19 Ravages Michigan’s Convent

Thirteen nuns have died of COVID-19 and a dozen more are seriously ill after the pandemic swept through their convent outside Detroit. The Felician Sisters at the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Convent were especially vulnerable — many of them were retired teachers and nurses in their 80s and 90s. "Once the germ got in and spread around, it was the point of no return," said Sister Noel Marie Gabriel, Director of Clinical Health Services at Our Lady of Hope Province.
