Have You Ever Thought? | Doreen Bentley | ACMI collection

A short documentary about the lives and the work of the Pastorelle Sisters, an order of Nuns in Thornbury, Melbourne. Their lives are centred around the person and teaching of Jesus, lived out in small communities, deeply concerned about the life of people, and working with clergy and laity in the building up of Christian communities.
