The order of the Little Sisters of Hoboken was founded in the 7th Century by St Wilfred.  Many years later a small group of pioneering sisters set out for America to set up a new motherhouse in Cleveland but got off the plane in Newark by mistake.  The order was 'found' by the Newark airport police and the new motherhouse was established in Hoboken, New Jersey.  The order of St Wilfred elected to change the name to the Little Sisters of Hoboken and they have affectionately been known as the 'Little Hobos' ever since.  It was from this convent that Sister Mary Regina, Sister Mary Hubert and Sister Robert Ann set sail for the Mediterranean to establish their leper colony.  Today the order has both nuns and brothers as members and they also operate Mount St Helen's School in Hoboken.  (DS)
