The Lantern
The Sisters of the Presentation, San Francisco, trace their history from the five founding sisters who came from Ireland at the request of Bishop Joseph Alemany in 1854. They came to teach Irish immigrants pouring into California as a result of the Gold Rush and California becoming a state.
The Sisters of the Presentation were founded in Cork, Ireland in 1775 by Nano Nagle and now serve the people of God throughout the world.
The Lantern (La Linterna) Center for Hospitality and Education opened in October 2006 to provide English and computer classes, as well as hospitality, for men and women in the immigrant community of San Francisco’s Mission District.
