CHICAGO (NC>~Nuns, who
either drink nor smoke, outlive
the average American woman by
six years, a surgeon who made
a nationwide survey disclosed
here.
'They are the healthiest,
longest-lived, hardest-work
ing, best educated feminine
group in the United States,"
said Dr. James T. Nix of New
Orleans in a salute to the nuns.
THE operator of the Nix Clin
ic, who is chairman of the Cath
olic Hospital Association’s
committee on the health of cler
gy and Religious, was inter
viewed (April 21) at the Clini
cal Congress of Abdominal Sur
geons here. He discussed his
nationwide study of the health
and habits of 116,000 nuns in
this country—the first survey
of its kind ever undertaken.
So far as he and his compu
ter have been able to discover,
nuns are subject to only one
occupational disorder, a condi
tion which D?. Nix calls a "dis
ease of supplication" but which
is more commonly known as
housemaid's knee. These days,
it is found only among nuns
and plumbers, he added.

told the surgeon’s group that
acute pancreatitis—inflamma
tion and hemorrhaging of the
pancreas— is a rarity among
nuns, whereas outside the con
vents )t is increasing, along
with its companion disorders,
gallstones, liver disease and al
coholism.
HE SAID these ills rarely af
flict nuns because they abstain
frqm alcohol and rich foods.
Even in the few instances where
pancreatitis has been observed
among nuns—there were two
cases noted among 575 nun
deaths in 1963—it occurs much
later than in other women. Dr.
Nix said. Laywomen who de
velop the disorder do so be
tween the ages of 40 and 50,
but the age of onset in nuns is
69.5 years, he detailed.

Sisters of St. Joseph of Caron-
More than 550 Sisters of the
Blessed Sacrament have the
privilege and vocation of being
Eucharistic apostles, serving
Christ in • the Indians and
Negroes of our own country.
The Motherhouse and Novitiate
is located at Cornwells Heights,
Pennsylvania Just over the
northeastern boundary of Phi
ladelphia.
Founded in 1891 by Reverend
Mother Mary Katharine Drexel
of Philadelphia at the express
invitation of Pope Leo XIII, this
American missionary com
munity carries on a nationwide
apostolate of teaching, cate
chetical and social service
work.
Seventy - three years ago,
Katharine Drexel, daughter of
Francis Anthony J Drexel*, de
dicated herself and all her
material wealth to those who
were in great need of her bene
factions, the Indians and
Negroes. Though a member of
one of the wealthiest families
In Philadelphia,’Katharine was
always aware that she could do
great good with the riches that
were hers, and from her earli
est days she developed a love
for the poor and suffering. As
she grew up she followed the
charitable example of her father
and mother in helping mis
sionaries. She was particularly
interested in the desperate
plight of the Indians and as a
laywoman she contributed large
sums of money to build Indian
schools where they were need
ed.
The lack of religious Sisters
to teach at Sc. Catherine's Indian
School, Santa Fe, which had been
built by her for the Pueblo
Indians prompted her on one
of her visits to Rome to ask
the Holy Father to send Sisters
from Europe to the Indian mis
sions in America. The Pontiff
smiled at her and uttered the
words that were to change her
life: "My Child, why don't you
become a missionary your
self?" Thus under the direct
inspiration of God and the ad
vice of His Vicar on earth, a
new community was born to
the Catholic Church in Ameri
ca.
IN 24 DIOCESE, S. B. S. mis-
sioners engage in their aposto
late, staffing fifty - one ele
mentary schools, 10 high
schools, including four boarding
schools that are maintained as
well as staffed by them. Xavier
University of Louisiana in New
Orleans, founded by Mother
Katharine in 1925 is the Alma
Mater of more than five thou
sand students who have availed
themselves of the opportunity
for higher education and pro
fessional training.
Yearly, throughout twenty -
one states S. B. S. carry on
a varied and extensive aposto
late. As teachers their duties
are part of a vast education
program that is made available
to more than 20,000 Indians and
Negroes yearly,. Within the life ’
time of Reverend Mother
Katharine the community erect
ed and maintained a long chain
of rural schools in the deep
South. Many of these today have
become parishes in the diocese
in which they are located, cen
ters of active Catholicity.
BESIDES their educational
endeavors, these Sister-mis- ‘
sioners make home visitations,
give catechetical and convert'
instructions and carry on a
varied program of social ser
vice work on a nationwide scale.
On the Navajo Indian reservat
ion, in the mountains and hills
and mesas among the Pueblo,
in the heart of large Northern
and Eastern cities, in the rural
south these Sisters of the Bless
ed Sacrament have their mis
sion field.
Through their endeavors,
TRACK TEAM
these daughters of Mother
Katharine Drexel, hope to help
bring about the unity of all
peoples in Christ, the goal of the
Eucharist.
The Sisters of the Blessed
Sacrament came to Atlanta in
1913 to open Our Lady of
Lourdes School. In 1961 the
Sisters of the Blessed Sacra
ment, together with the Sisters
of St. Joseph, formed the faculty
for the new Archdiocesan
Drexel Catholic High School.
