We truly believe in God and we all try to live as good Catholics: mass every Sunday, rosary with the family every night, we go to confession and retreats, and we pray when we wake in the morning and before going to bed. But sadly, other than those “routine” elements of being Christian, most of us do not really understand what the Bible says, or what the priests are preaching, or what really is the will of God.

Few occupations were open to them -- and those few that were such as being a governess, i.e. a live-in teacher for the daughters of a family, were not highly respected, and did not generally pay well or have very good working conditions.
