	HENNESSY, Mary Vincent. (Kilkenny, Ireland, 1821--Dubuque, IA, Feb. 19, 1880). ~~Becoming~~ a ~~professed member~~ of the Presentation ~~Nuns of August 18, 1852~~, Sister ~~Hennessy with others took charge of a house~~ in ~~Castlecomer and later Mooncoin in Ireland~~. (1)		HENNESSY, Mary Vincent. (Kilkenny, Ireland, 1821--Dubuque, IA, Feb. 19, 1880). Ellen Hennessy attended the school staffed by Presentation sisters in her hometown, Castlecomer, Ireland. Here she became a Sister of the Presentation, receiving the name Sister Mary Magdalen. After serving effectively in her home community, the Kilkenny Presentation community requested that she join them, not an uncommon practice among the small Irish foundations. (1)

	~~During his visit to Ireland~~, ~~Bishop [[HENNESSY, John\|John HENNESSY]] met~~ Mother Hennessy ~~and arranged for her~~ to ~~establish a branch of~~ the ~~order in Dubuque~~. ~~With three companions, she established~~ the ~~motherhouse~~ in ~~Key West~~. ~~As the order grew~~, two ~~other houses each with a school were conducted by members of the same order~~. (2)		At Kilkenny there was another sister with the name Magdalen, so St. Vincent de Paul became the choice patron of our traveling sister and she became known as Mother Vincent Hennessy. Her responsibilities in Kilkenny consisted of assistant to the superior and treasurer. Some time later the Presentation Convent in Mooncoin requested her services. Upon her transfer, Mother Vincent was immediately elected Mother Superior; she served two terms. (2)
