For those interested...I was so moved by this piece that I felt compelled to contact the New York Historical Society in NYC and just got off the phone with a very helpful woman there.she told me to google “New York Historical Society” and “flickr” to see other things (pictures,letters,etc) from their collection.Just search “New York Foundling Hospital” when you reach the flickr page.Next time I hit NYC I’m certainly gonna make time to check out their exhibit which,the woman said,is much more extensive than what’s on the web.

“With all the ugly things being said about the Catholic Church today it must be noted that it’s done far,far more good in this world than harm.’

So true.
