Mary, Queen of Peace pays tribute to the aging Filippini Sisters, a Catholic religious institute devoted to education with ministries in ten countries including the United States. The series offers a reverent look at the mortality of a religious institution and of the aging women who inhabit it. It is a narrative revealing the intimate relationships that are woven through this community; sisters bonded not only in name, but also in the beliefs, lifestyle and devotion to the service they share.
These women are individuals nurtured and shaped by their assemblage. As they grow old together, their connections, both spiritual and earthly, keep them vibrant, humorous and wise.
