Sisters Save City Playscapes With 400 Volunteers
In Philadelphia 400 sisters from the Archdiocese, aided by mothers and teenage boys, ran a 10 week summer program supervised by city recreation officials. They expanded from six to 15 streets, funded by Cardinal Krol and Philadelphia Gas Works, saving the city up to 1.5 million dollars in recreation costs.
