Amish? No, these are sisters who teach! They are the Religious Teachers Fillippini. One sees them all over Rome and Castelgandolfo. I so love to see a sweet, elderly sister as it implies a successful fulfillment of a life of service.
The School Sisters of Notre-Dame used to staff my high school (the last sister left in a.D. 2002). I sometimes walk past their mother house in Rome on the Via Aurelia (when I go to Panorama to shop!). I still remember the sisters saying to us while I was still just a youngster: "Love the Church as the Church is Jesus Christ!"
