This series contains materials documenting Nicgorski's relationship with the order of School Sisters of St. Francis. The order fully supported the Sanctuary movement and Nicgorski during her trial, and the materials include a detailed, complete media packet, official letters and memoranda of support from the order, private letters of support from individual members, an article by Jim Gittings on the order's support, and various papers (including courtroom tickets) of Sister Anne Taveirne, the order's official observer at the trial. The papers also include general documents relating to the order. Materials documenting Nicgorski's personal relationship to the order include her 1970 and 1974 professions, personal papers, and materials relating to her 1987 separation from the order. The series also includes a large file on Sister Patricia Pechauer, Nicgorski's friend, who was killed in a traffic accident in April 1986 while attending the trial.
