schema:text	From April 10, 2020, to June 27, 2020, 13 sisters from the same convent in Michigan died from COVID-19, prompting Snopes readers to ask if that particularly concentrated pandemic tragedy was true. Sadly, it is true. Twelve sisters from Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Convent in Livonia, Michigan, died within 30 days of each other during an outbreak of the coronavirus disease between April 10 and May 10. Another sister died on June 27. Suzanne English, executive director of mission advancement for the Felician Sisters of North America — the congregation that the sisters belonged to — told us in a statement that although not all 13 sisters were tested, their symptoms were "inline with COVID" amid the outbreak at the convent. In the case of the final fatality on June 27, English said, "the Sister had been COVID-positive and while she had passed the 28-day quarantine, we believe it was the lingering effects that caused her death." Although some news reports referred to the women as "nuns," English pointed out that because the Felicians are monastic (living under religious vows), they are correctly referred to as "sisters." A total of 30 sisters at the Livonia convent — of the 57 then living there — were infected. Seventeen recovered, English said in an email, citing Sister Noel Marie Gabriel, director of clinical health services for the Felicians. According to Global Sisters Report, a news publication focusing on Catholic sisters and current events, the 13 sisters who passed were heavily involved in their community, performing services like working as nurses, educators, and librarians. "That was our most tragic time," Sister Gabriel told the publication. "It was a month of tragedy and sorrow and mourning and grieving." Officially known as the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Felix of Cantalice, the convent in Livonia is one of 60 Felician convents in North America.
