Sister Ester Brose, Primary School Teacher

While the vast majority of deaconesses served in all aspects of the nursing profession and in every variety of health care institutions, deaconesses also continue to work in fields of parish work, education, social work and foreign missions. Depicted here is Sister Ester Brose, primary teacher of the Lankenau School for Girls. The school began as a wing at the Philadelphia motherhouse.
