Nunneries
Description: Nunneries
The bigger nunneries often take in abandoned or orphaned girls to educate and feed them. The girls become nuns as do boys become novices but entering the Order is not a lifetime commitment and they are free to leave when they come of age, if they so wish. Under their care children are saved from a life of street crime or worse.
