The Sisters of the Presentation, San Francisco, trace their history
from the five founding sisters who came from Ireland at the request
of Bishop Joseph Alemany in 1854. They came to teach Irish
immigrants pouring into California as a result of the Gold Rush and
California becoming a state.
The Sisters of the Presentation were founded in Cork, Ireland in
1775 by Nano Nagle and now serve the people of God throughout the
world.
