During her time at Selma, S. Mary Paul was the head of the Saint Elizabeth’s School. She had started as a teacher but was promoted to Principal of the school not long after. She was also Superior of the convent, home to Sisters of St. Joseph who taught in the parish school and staffed Good Samaritan Hospital. She served in Selma until 1968 when she returned to Rochester, NY. This never-before-seen clip is from the archival footage of the making of the Sisters of Selma film (2007).
