Excerpt from Paine Ancestry by Sarah Cushing Paine:
While in Rome in 1859, she was received into the Episcopal Church, and in 1864 she went with a friend, Miss Mary Sever, to England to join the sisterhood of St. John Baptist at Clewer, Windsor. She took the name of Sister Frances Constance. In 1874, she was sent to New York to establish a branch of the sisterhood in America. Her work in New York was crowned with great success. The St. John baptist house was built in a central and most admirable location, No. 233 East 17th Street, and here for many years she was Mother Superior of the order, until her failing health made it necessary for her to give up the charge.
