In 1874, Nano’s legacy was carried into the future when Presentation Sisters journeyed to Dubuque, Iowa. With unfaltering faith and fortitude, they departed their homeland of Mooncoin, Ireland, carrying Nano’s “lantern” across the Atlantic, fueled by the fiery passion for love and service ignited within them by Nano.

This engaging play delves into Nano’s remarkable journey, transporting you to Cork, Ireland, where she dedicated her life to ministering to poor children. Her courage in the face of adversity and her dedication in serving the marginalized persisted until her death. Her legacy of love and compassion lives on, inspiring all to carry forward her vision of a more just and compassionate world.
