Sanborn Fire Map showing the structures on the grounds of the Provincial Convent of the Good Shepherd. This image is from the digitized volume in the Ohio Web Library. The print volume includes more detail, including color-coding that does not appear in microfilm or digital editions, as well as pasted-on updates for some locations. In 2021, the Cincinnati History Library and Archives at the Cincinnati Museum Center (http://library.cincymuseum.org/) is one of the few libraries that still retains the print volumes.

Caption: The novice becomes a nun at the end of 2 1/2 years. Her vows of poverty, chastity, obedience and zeal for souls become perpetual vows three years later. Here Msgr. Markham, representing the Bishop of the diocese, crowns her with roses, symbol of "a crown of glory in Heaven."
Caption: "She receives the white habit of the order of the Good Shepherd when she becomes a novice. The provincial of the convent, Mother Mary of St. Sylvester, hears her first vows and Msgr. Markham gives his blessing as the young novice intones the centuries-old chant of her order."
Caption: The ceremony which follows is the most impressive of her training period. She wears a white veil and becomes a "Bride of Christ." Msgr. R. J. Markham hands her a candle and says: "Receive my daughter this external light, symbol of celestial light."
