In 1863 a young Virginia native named Sadie Monk, who had dedicated herself to the Confederacy, was captured by Union troops while spying in New York. While being transported to prison she escaped and found refuge in a local convent. While in hiding she heard of the surrender of General Lee's army and decided to flee the country. She took the name Theresa Morgese and traveled,as Sister Theresa, to England where she discovered her calling. The rest is history.
