Hail, glorious Saint Patrick, dear Saint of our isle. [St. Patrick.] This is in Easy Hymns, c. 1853, No. 14, marked as by Sister Agnes, of the Convent of Charleville, Co. Cork.

The little volume owes a large proportion of its contents to the Convent of the Holy Child, St Leonard's on the Sea, Hastings; some pretty songs to the Convent of Sisters of Mercy, Kinsale; besides several new contributions from Sister M.J. and Sister Agnes, of the Convent of Charlesville.

Use of "Sister" edit

Although we don't generally use honorifics in page titles, I feel that since she is universally cited as "Sister Agnes", and since there really isn't much else to disambiguate on, the title "Sister Agnes" is just as good as "Agnes (sister)" in this case. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 16:33, 27 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
