This sub-series is primarily comprised of lists of Sisters who taught vacation schools in Alamosa, Colorado.

All this sub-series contains is a short list of which Sisters led summer schools of religion in Craig, Colorado, along with which years they taught sessions between when they first entered the town in 1937 and when they finally left in 1973.
